*Rutilated quartz can be worth thousands of dollars depending on the specimen and its reflective properties.  It is one of the many types of quartz that make up 12% of the earth’s crust yet the rarest to find. Rutilated quartz is distinguished by thin needle-like crystal inclusions - bright gold needles are the most prized. Kazakhstan, Australia, Brazil, Norway, Madagascar and the US (mostly in areas around mountain ranges) are the main sources of this gorgeous stone.
