Golden rutilated quartz jewelry features clear quartz crystals containing natural threads of titanium dioxide, known as rutile. These needle-like inclusions formed millions of years ago when rutile crystallized inside the quartz matrix. Each stone displays its own pattern of golden strands, from fine hair-like wisps to bold intersecting rays. Our collection pairs these Brazilian and Madagascar specimens with .925 sterling silver settings.

The golden threads are rutile, a mineral composed of titanium dioxide. These crystals formed inside the quartz as both minerals grew together underground over millions of years.
Yes. With a Mohs hardness of 7, rutilated quartz resists scratches well and holds up to regular use in rings, bracelets, and other jewelry.
Most specimens originate from Brazil, which produces the majority of gem-quality rutilated quartz. Some stones also come from Madagascar and other mining regions.
All rutile inclusions in our golden rutilated quartz formed naturally during the stone's creation. We do not sell synthetic or treated versions.
