We suggest a 16" snake chain or similar to give this clean, elegant design the attention it deserves!

Rutilated quartz is a form of clear quartz that is characterized by the presence of “needles” or strands of rutile within the structure of the quartz crystal.

Rutile is a titanium dioxide mineral, and sometimes contains large quantities of iron oxide. When the iron oxide content is high, the rutilated quartz may have needles of gold and red in it, and when the content is lower, it may have a darker, even almost black color. Golden "rutiles" are the most sought after inclusion, as seen in this shimmering pendant. In spiritual lore, rutilated quartz is said to hasten spiritual awakening.
