Loose Rutile Quartz Gemstones for Sale - Worldwide Shipping

Rutile Quartz

Rutile Quartz would be a fairly ordinary clear gemstone if it were not for the fascinating inclusions within the stone. These can be thick or thin, straight or curly, parallel or criss-crossed and resemble such things as hair cuttings, a handful of straw or some loose copper wiring.

Rutile Quartz Colors

The inclusions of Rutile Quartz can come in a wide range of colors from light yellows and fawny browns through rusty reds and silver grays all the way to black.

Rutile Quartz Species

As you will have guessed from the name, Rutile Quartz is a type of quartz - usually completely transparent - but with tiny fiber-like inclusions of titanium dioxide which make this gemstone so distinctive.

The arrangement, color and thickness of the inclusions have led to the use of a few trade names such as:

Venus Hair Stone
Angel Hair Quartz
Cupid's Darts
Sagenitic Quartz

Rutile Quartz Price

Rutile Quartz is not a very expensive gemstone and the best style, color and shape of the inclusions is more a matter of personal taste than an indication of price.

Certainly, very a transparent gemstone with brightly colored inclusions - say blonde or copper red - would probably demand a higher price per carat but the differences are minimal.

Carat Weight

Rutile Quartz gemstones can be found in impressive carat weights and sizes - 40 or 50 carats and even more are fairly common - which can provide a large window through which we can appreciate the intriguing inclusions.

Because the large sizes are quite easy to find, the price per carat does not rise for the bigger stones - perhaps even the opposite - and these stones are usually just a dollar or two per carat with just the exceptional examples reaching $15 per carat.

Treatments
