Two rutilated quartz capped in sterling silver 925: one is a light smoky, the other clear quartz.
Rutilated Quartz zings at an exceptionally high level of energy. For me it brings physical and mental balance alongside stability, enhances self-reliance, strengthens willpower, and helps you let go of the past. A great stone.
Quartz with naturally occurring strands of rutile is often called "The Hairs of Venus" — which brings to mind those old lockets that held locks of hair from those you loved, or wanted to cast a spell on.
