Rutilated quartz braided bracelet

Clear quartz shot through with fine golden rutile — like threads of captured sunlight held inside the stone. This is a bracelet worn for focus and drive: quartz for a clear, steady head, the rutile needles adding a spark of warmth and vital energy on the greyer days. Rugged cord, natural stone, no two beads alike.

Colourful Rutilated Quartz

This relatively rare type of natural crystal quartz contains tiny rutile needles. It can bring vital energy into your life and evoke the bright energy of the Sun during dark moments. Rutile is a natural form of titanium dioxide combined with varying amounts of iron oxide — it’s the iron that gives rutile its red, golden to copper tint, creating a spectacular visual effect. The needle-like rutile inclusions form randomly within the crystal quartz, making every bead a unique original.

Crystal Quartz – Meaning

Crystal quartz generally awakens dormant energy on both a physical and spiritual level, and unlocks people’s hidden potential. It protects the purity of the soul, improves concentration, and helps guard against negativity. It’s a wonderful stone for meditation and can bring a strong boost to your mental clarity.

Throughout history, this stone has had many names. In Chinese and Japanese tradition, it is known as “frozen light,” “sacred water,” or “dragon essence.” Buddhists call it “visible nothingness.” Aboriginal Australians know it as “fossilized light” and believe it holds the essence of the Great Spirit. In Greek tradition, it was called “pure ice.” According to legend, it shattered into thousands of pieces after Hercules dropped it from sacred Mount Olympus.
