Rutilated Quartz
Rutile occurs as an accessory mineral in a variety of igneous rocks, such as sagenite. andIt grows in schists, gneisses, metamorphosed limestones, and quartzites. This quartz is often known as Angel’s Hair because of the fine strands of titanium dioxide (rutile) that form within the crystal. Also known as grass stone. When the rutile crystals are thin, they appear as brassy or coppery metallic threads. Rutilated quartz's pattern of criss crossing crystals suggest rapid communication and exchange of energy.
