Rutile Quartz Split Necklace
Rutile Quartz Split Necklace from China
Rutile quartz
Rutile quartz is a special variety of quartz in which needle-shaped inclusions of rutile (titanium dioxide) are visible. These inclusions can be golden, reddish-brown or black and often form a striking pattern within the transparent or slightly cloudy crystal. Rutile quartz is valued for this unique visual effect, which gives each specimen its own character.
The mineral is found in locations around the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, India and the United States. It forms in hydrothermal veins where rutile and quartz crystallise simultaneously. Quartz's chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚, while rutile has the formula TiOâ‚‚. Rutile quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
