Rutilated Quartz Rings 

Talking about a quartz ring might not be such a captivating story but, a rutilated quartz ring surely has a lot to write about. Quartz as a single mineral has a significant presence on our planet. But some varieties of quartz gems have specific properties that make them attractive to the world of gems and jewelry. Examples that we are all aware of are, amethyst, citrine, smoky quartz and even rose quartz. Rutilated quartz is a very interesting gemstone, not just in the quartz mineral family. This gemstone is valued for it's inclusions, something that is quite strange because gem experts normally reduce marks when inclusions are found in a gem. The demand for rutilated quartz rings is high among gem lovers and enthusiasts who understand the true, value and rarity of the gemstone. This gemstone at first glance can look like a clear piece of white (colorless) quartz, that somehow got invoved with a bunch of dry grass or hay!

If you observe a rutilated quartz gemstone ring, you will notice fine brown, golden yellow or blackish streaks in the gem. It is not certain whether inclusions of organic material like grass or hay, would add to the value of the quartz, but these inclusions are certainly interesting. The streaks or fibres in the gemstone consist of another mineral, rutile. This is the reason why, the gemstone is called rutilated quartz. This background knowledge is extremely essential to understand the rarity and true worth of rutilated quartz gems. The next time you see this gemstone, you are bound to give it that second look and admire the marvels of nature. An interesting thing about these inclusions is that, they are so fine that existence on their own would be virtually impossible. Like many other gems, quartz takes a long time to form - this could be as long as a few thousand years. It is very likely that the rutile fibres were already formed as they fell into the quartz that was still not fully solidified. The quartz engulfed the rutile streaks and the remained safe in the quartz.
