What, you haven’t heard of golden rutilated quartz? Then get prepared to be won over. This uncommon beauty of a gem is all about embracing flaws. Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth…but the perfect rutilated quartz stone isn’t easy to find. And here’s why: It’s a masterpiece of finicky Mother Nature. When rutile, a mineral composed of titanium dioxide, embeds itself into quartz it forms super-thin, hair-like inclusions, which becomes rutilated quartz. This variety of quartz can be found all over the world, particularly in Brazil and India, but it’s still tricky to find versions that form a jewelry-worthy pattern via this natural process. Normally, inclusions inside of gemstones are looked down upon by jewelers as faults, but because of its scarce beauty, golden rutilated quartz has become so highly valued in the industry, it’s in big-time demand by designers. And if you believe in the healing property of stones, you’ll definitely want to add golden rutilated quartz to your jewelry box. This gemstone is known for revving up energy on all levels, including mental focus. The following pieces by some of our favorite designers are sure to “wow” you and your wardrobe. —Stephanie Melia
