Green Rutile From India 3.40 CT
Green rutile, a very rare variant of the titanium dioxide mineral rutile, gets its distinct green hue from trace amounts of niobium, chromium, or iron. While most rutile is found as needles inside quartz, authentic natural green rutile is primarily sourced from locations like Brazil, Pakistan, and Russia. [1, 2, 3]
Characteristics and Use
- Mineral Breakdown: When seen as fibrous inclusions (most often within quartz), these tiny needles are often composed of green minerals like ferro-actinolite or green tourmaline. j
- Value & Rarity: Because large, pure green rutile crystals are incredibly uncommon, they are highly sought after by mineral collectors and lapidary artists.
- Market Price: Loose natural green rutile quartz gemstones typically range in price from $7 to over $30 depending on cut, clarity, and carat weight.
