Description
This superior quality, slighty smoky quartz sphere is loaded with lots of lovely wisps of rutile, perfectly scattered about. This quartz is super clean with just one patch of polished off chlorite on one spot on the surface (shown in last image..you can lighty feel this when you run your fingers over it). I’ve shown the sphere with several different backgrounds, as it was truly difficult to capture it!

RUTILE (titanium dioxide) inclusions look like metallic hairs or needles. Rutilated quartz is said to help maintain mental focus and clarity, and also to assist in following through with ideas or dreams.
QUARTZ (silicon dioxide), one of the most abundant minerals on earth, comprises about 12% of the earth’s upper crust. Usually found in compact masses, it sometimes crystallizes as beautiful “points” easily identified by their six distinct faces. Quartz comes in a variety of colors including purple amethyst, golden citrine, brown smoky, pink rose quartz and clear rock crystal. Quartz crystals are piezoelectric: When trapped or squeezed, the crystal produces an electrical current from the opposite face. It is this property that has made quartz so important to modern technology, especially electronics and computers. Crystal users believe that by directing one’s mental energy into a crystal one can bring about a sharpening of inner vision and increased psychic and bodily awareness.
