Rutilated quartz bead bracelet 2 mm faceted - 925 sterling silver gold-plated

Rutilated quartz is mineralogically a quartz (SiO₂), Mohs hardness 7, which contains fine rutile needles (TiO₂). These needles create a characteristic golden-yellow to red-gold shimmer inside the stone – an effect that has earned the stone the poetic nickname "Venus hair." Depending on the density and orientation of the needles, each stone appears different: sometimes delicate and thread-like, at other times dense and brightly golden. The faceted cut of the particularly fine 2 mm beads further enhances this light effect. Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, Russia.

The bracelet is threaded on wire and features a gold-plated 925 sterling silver lobster clasp, length approx. 18 cm.

Significance in crystal healing

Rutilated quartz is considered a stone of clarity, energy, and transformation. It is said to organize thoughts, strengthen decisiveness, and release blockages. According to traditional crystal healing lore, it is also believed to support the respiratory and digestive organs. These attributes are based on tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
