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.
