Rutile, also known as titanium dioxide, is a mineral that is often found in association with quartz. When present in quartz, it can appear as golden or reddish-brown needle-like inclusions that can be seen scattered within the crystal. Rutile inclusions in quartz are highly prized by collectors and are believed to have additional metaphysical properties to the quartz crystal, as well as enhancing the beauty of the specimen. They are unique and highly sought after.
