Green Rutilated Quartz 3.08 CT
Green rutilated quartz is a striking, rare variety of quartz featuring needle-like inclusions. While rutile needles are most commonly golden or copper, the green variety contains fibrous bundles of actinolite or green tourmaline. It is widely used in jewelry and holistic practices for its purported ability to amplify energy and promote personal growth.
Physical and Gemological Properties
- Composition: It is a silicon dioxide mineral matrix (clear or smoky quartz) with embedded green crystal fibers.
- Inclusions: Unlike standard titanium dioxide rutile, the green strands are typically calcium-iron-rich amphiboles (like ferro-actinolite) or green tourmaline.
- Hardness: It rates a 7 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for rings, pendants, and bracelets.
Metaphysical Meaning
In crystal healing, green rutilated quartz is celebrated as a "Stone of Growth and Manifestation". It is primarily associated with the Heart Chakra and is used to:
- Clear negative energy and emotional blockages.
- Attract abundance, wealth, and success.
- Foster spiritual growth, resilience, and emotional renewal.
