About Silver Rutile Quartz
Silver Rutile Quartz is a captivating variety of Clear Quartz (SiO₂) that contains fine, needle-like inclusions of silver-coloured Rutile (titanium dioxide). These metallic threads, also known as “Venus hair,” create a shimmering, almost ethereal internal landscape within the crystal. Unlike the more commonly seen golden rutile, silver rutile has a cool, silvery sheen that adds a modern, mystical elegance to this high-vibrational stone.
Rutilated Quartz, including silver varieties, typically forms in Brazil, Madagascar, India, and Australia. It retains the excellent clarity and amplifying properties of Quartz, paired with the added metaphysical depth of Rutile. With a Mohs hardness of 7, it’s suitable for jewellery, wands, points, and meditation tools.
