It often contains \u003cstrong\u003ehematite\u003c\/strong\u003e as well, and the host quartz ranges from a creamy, milky tone to a pure, clear, ice-like transparency. Sometimes called \u003cstrong\u003eAngel's Hair Quartz\u003c\/strong\u003e, the needle-like inclusions are titanium oxide, which gives the rutile its signature golden flash. These needles form because the silica building the quartz cannot incorporate the titanium oxide; instead, the two separate, and the titanium oxide becomes trapped as fine needles inside the growing crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ecollectible crystal specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring the \u003cem\u003esignature golden needles\u003c\/em\u003e that make rutilated quartz so prized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePERFECT FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Crystal collectors\u003cbr\u003e• Display specimens\u003cbr\u003e• Metaphysical and mineral enthusiasts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHOTO NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photographed wet.
