Rutilated quartz is found in Australia, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Norway, Pakistan and the United States.

Rutile is a major ore of titanium, which is a metal used for high tech alloys. It often forms needle-like crystal inclusions inside quartz. This form of quartz is known as rutilated quartz and it looks like small bars of imbedded gold. Rutile is a 6 on the Mohs scale. This stone has less Rutiles and is a milker stone.

Because of the difference in hardness between the two materials and because of the way rutile forms inside, this can be a difficult stone to attain a smooth surface without pits.

Rutilated quartz has been referred to as Cupid's darts, Venus hair stone and Fleches d'amour.

The name quartz comes from the Saxon word querklufterz which meant cross vein ore. The name rutile comes from the Latin word rutilus meaning red. Folklore, Legend, and Healing Properties:

Legend of the Runes

According to Scandinavian mythology, the runic alphabet was discovered by the supreme god Odin while he was for nine days and nine nights hanging head down on Yggdrasil, the tree of the World that supports the whole of the Scandinavian universe. Thanks to this mastering of the runes, Odin, warrior and shaman, gained the ability to cure and inspire life back into the dead,and also the power over the world of the dead. This was how the runic writing was from the very beginnings connected closely with magick and used for magickal purposes and practices. This story is represented by the ''Hanged man'' card in the Tarot deck.

About Our Runes

Unlike many rune sets which are made with synthetic materials and machine printed in a factory, our rune sets are hand-crafted from real gemstones and also hand-etched with a dremmel and diamond point bit, then the symbols are painted by a practicing wizard with traditional runic magickal symbols.
