Rutilated Quartz Freeforms

Rutilated Quartz with Hematite – Freeforms (Brazil)

These polished freeforms are natural Quartz from Brazil, featuring fine golden Rutile needles alongside darker Hematite inclusions. At first glance they appear soft and smoky, but once the light hits them you start to notice flashes of gold, subtle contrast, and lots of internal detail. They’re the kind of stones you keep picking up because there’s always something new to spot.

Each piece is completely unique, with its own balance of clarity, inclusions, and tone. They’ve been polished to a smooth finish while still keeping plenty of natural character.

Rutilated Quartz forms when tiny crystals of Rutile (titanium dioxide) grow inside Quartz as it crystallises, creating the fine needle-like inclusions. The darker areas come from Hematite, an iron-rich mineral that becomes trapped in the Quartz during formation. These inclusions develop naturally over millions of years, giving each piece its distinctive internal patterns.

Rutilated Quartz with Hematite is often associated with clarity, focus, and grounding. It’s thought to help sharpen concentration while keeping energy steady and balanced, making it a popular combination for staying organised and mentally clear without feeling overwhelmed. Many people are drawn to this pairing for its mix of light, uplifting Quartz qualities with the stabilising feel Hematite is traditionally associated with.

A – 64g
A softer, more translucent piece with delicate golden Rutile threads running through pale, smoky Quartz. The Hematite inclusions are subtle, giving it a calm, balanced look that feels quietly interesting.

B – 42g
Smaller but full of character, with more visible Rutile needles and stronger dark inclusions. This one has a slightly moodier, more mineral-rich appearance — great if you like obvious internal detail.

C – 60g
A lovely balance of clarity and inclusions, with golden Rutile lines and darker patches adding depth through the stone. There’s a lot going on inside this piece, making it very satisfying to look at from different angles, with one side left raw.
