Rutile
or titanium oxide (TiO2) is a mineral that typically forms in long thin
needles. Rutile is known cause the stars in stones such as
ruby and sapphire, and it does also form in topaz and tourmaline,
similar to rutillated quartz. Rutillated quartz is a beautiful stone
produced by large inclusions of golden or red rutile needles in clear
quartz. Rutilated quartz is sometimes used as a gemstone and/or for
carvings. The formation of this stone arises due to high
temperatures and pressure, quartz (SiO2) and rutile (TiO2) are in a
stable (liquid) state but as temperatures cool and pressure eases the
two separate with rutile crystals becoming trapped inside the quartz
crystals. In Today, the vast majority of Rutilated Quartz is mined
in Brazil and it is also found in most gem producing
countries.
