Rutilated Quartz Bead Bracelet 4 mm

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." The 4 mm beads display this fascinating light effect in a size suitable for everyday wear. Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, Russia.
