About Black Rutilated Quartz:
Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz that contains naturally occurring rutile crystals – slender, needle-like formations of titanium dioxide.

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.
