Tourmalinated Quartz or Black Rutilated Quartz Gemstone

I received the most spectacular Tourmalinated Quartz or Black Rutilated Quartz gemstones from my supplier today. These will be also be available in my gemstone store on Etsy from tomorrow.






Tourmalinated Quartz or Black Rutilated Quartz Gemstone is basically rock crystal quartz which contain rutiles as inclusions. The chemical composition of rutile is titanium oxide. The needle like rutiles form beautiful and unique matrices, because of which they are sometimes called as 'Venus hair' or 'Angel hair'.

Rutilated Quartz is another healing stone and is believed to aid in dealing with depression and loneliness at the same time enhancing creativity, potency and self-healing.

I have been featured in two Treasuries!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive two different convos saying I was featured in a treasury! The first one is called "metals and stone..." by expressions123. The Mystic Silver Blue Quartz gemstone beads from my store are featured here.



The other treasury is called "It's Black... It's White...... It might be Gray...." by curator paperNplastic. The white moonstone round cabochon is featured in this one.

Suppliers are rarely featured in treasuries so I was really surprised to be featured in not one, but three treasuries this week. Thank you ladies!!
