Scientific Note: Rutilated Quartz has been studied for both its aesthetic and piezoelectric properties. The rutile inclusions form due to differences in crystallization timing and temperature gradients. It is not classified under a biozone, as it is not biological in origin.
Metaphysical Properties:
Rutilated Quartz is widely known as an energizing and illuminating stone. It is said to accelerate manifestation, strengthen willpower, and promote spiritual growth. Golden rutile inclusions are believed to amplify the properties of quartz and enhance one’s connection to higher consciousness. Frequently used with the solar plexus and crown chakras, it is favored by healers and energy workers.
