Product Description:
Add dramatic, mystical elegance with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Black Rutilated Quartz Faceted Bicone Beads Strands. These stunning beads feature natural rutilated quartz – a captivating variety of clear to smoky quartz prized for its needle-like black rutile inclusions that create striking patterns within the transparent stone, resembling lightning bolts, dark feathers, or abstract brushstrokes suspended in crystal. The faceted bicone shape combines the elegance of a tapered, double-cone silhouette with precision-cut facets that catch and reflect light beautifully from every angle, creating exceptional brilliance and sparkle.
Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz that contains naturally occurring rutile crystals – slender, needle-like formations of titanium dioxide. When these inclusions are black, they are typically composed of hematite or other iron minerals. The natural stone is carefully shaped into bicone beads – a faceted, double-cone shape that is wider at the center and tapered at both ends – then precision-faceted to enhance its natural clarity and showcase the dramatic black needle inclusions.
These strands are a favorite among professional jewelry designers, crystal healers, and anyone seeking a powerful, transformative gemstone. The faceted bicone shape adds texture, brilliance, and visual interest to any project. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

⚡✨ What are Black Rutilated Quartz Faceted Bicone Beads?
These dramatic beads feature genuine natural rutilated quartz in a precision faceted bicone shape.
About Black Rutilated Quartz:
Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz that contains naturally occurring rutile crystals – slender, needle-like formations of titanium dioxide. When these inclusions appear black, they are typically composed of hematite or other iron minerals rather than traditional golden rutile. The needles can be straight, curved, branching, or arranged in starburst patterns, creating unique and dramatic designs within each bead. The quartz host crystal ranges from clear and transparent to light smoky tones, allowing the black needles to stand out in striking contrast. Major sources of rutilated quartz include Brazil, Madagascar, India, and Russia.
About the Bicone Shape:
The bicone, also known as double-cone, is a faceted bead shape that is wider at the center and tapers to points at both ends. This elegant silhouette creates exceptional light reflection and sparkle, as the angled facets catch light from multiple directions. The bicone shape is highly prized by jewelry designers for its vintage-inspired elegance and brilliant shine.
