Rutilated Quartz forms when needle-like or crystalline Rutile becomes enclosed within growing Quartz. Rutile may appear golden, reddish, brown, or dark depending on its composition and lighting. Specimens with both internal inclusions and exposed Rutile offer added visual interest because the Rutile can be seen both inside and on the surface of the Quartz.
