Two separate minerals choose to form together in perfect happenstance harmony. It is valued for bringing balance, awareness, and the gift to be graceful in your message. Exceptional clarity and evenly dispersed rutile needles create a metallic masterpiece. Each rutile shines across its path like a shooting star, enhanced by its open back setting.
Rutilation occurs naturally during the quartz formation process with heat and pressure. A simple understanding is that it's a "captured" inclusion of titanium dioxide rutiles. It has a gold, reddish brown or black color. As it contains two types of crystals it symbolizes synergy, since this stone by its very nature must create harmony between the two stones that work within it.
Quartz forms in a six sided prism and so can the titanium dioxide within it. Sprays of 3, 4, 5, and 6 are called stars. Stars must include the matrix from which they grew. Maximum and rarest number of rays is six. This particular piece features evenly dispersed random rutiles, or at the extension of many stars. Beautifully framed and magnified by the crystal clear quartz for you to gaze upon.
You will always receive the exact stone pictured. I do my best to describe and capture them in different lighting and as accurately as possible under varying conditions. Colours may look different from monitor to monitor.
All my jewelry settings are handcrafted in response to my hand cut one of a kind gemstones. I aim to do each stone justice by listening to what they want, cutting and crafting a setting to fully showcase it in the jewellery it was always meant to be. You always get a one of a kind art piece for you to wear, born of the earth and crafted especially for you.
