Golden Rutile, also known as Rutilated Quartz, is a transparent quartz crystal containing needle-like inclusions of rutile (titanium dioxide). In India, these striking "Venus hair" stones are sourced primarily from the Himalayan regions (such as the Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh). They are highly prized for jewelry, meditation, and manifestation.
