Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile which create a metallic appearance. These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can look silver, copper red or deep black — with the latter two details existing in this particular piece. While otherwise inclusions often reduce the value of a crystal, rutilated quartz in fact is valued for the quality and beauty of these inclusions.
Rutilated Quartz has been used by some practitioners as a meditation crystal. The uses are primarily for efforts in which the desire is to improve one’s state of happiness, and excitement at the joy life can bring. Other practitioners report that Rutilated Quartz can help with efforts to see the "big picture" and in promoting understanding of one’s place as a spirit in the spirit world.
Because it contains two crystals, it is thought to combine the powers of both. It also is perceived as promoting harmony since the gem itself creates harmony between its two components. Clear quartz brings positive energy, and rutile can improve your awareness of the world. Together, they form a powerful psychic gemstone.

GOLD-FILLED: 14K gold-filled is substantially durable and, when properly cared for, 14K gold-filled jewelry will stand up to being worn every day for a lifetime. This item is NOT gold plated or gold dipped vermeil jewelry, which can chip off over time with wear. Gold-filling is a process that involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14k gold with extreme heat over a core of high quality jeweler's brass resulting in a durable, quality real gold product. It will never chip or flake off. It won’t tarnish and will not rub off or turn colors. Wearers who are sensitive to certain metals can wear gold filled without worries of an allergic reaction and, because of the materials involved, you can always be sure that 14K gold-fill is also a nickel free material.
When it comes to gold-fill, rose gold follows the same specifications as yellow gold, with a thick layer of 14k gold over a jeweler’s brass core. The only difference is the color of the gold—one is 14k rose, the other 14k yellow.GEMSTONES: We only use genuine stones in our creations—we do not use lab created stones or any kind of glass-filled or dyed gemstones. They are nature made and therefore variations may occur in the stones cut and color, including having natural cracks and inclusions within the stone. All pieces are one of a kind. We photograph our jewelry in natural light and stones like opal, moonstone, and labradorite must be photographed at different angles in order to view their natural luster.
