Black Rutilated Quartz
The stone
Light, threaded with shadow
Clear quartz threaded with fine black needles. It's sold as rutilated quartz, but the needles are often black tourmaline rather than rutile. Either way they grew inside the crystal as it formed, so no two stones are the same.
Meaning & folklore
In crystal lore, quartz is said to amplify intention, while its dark needles are linked with grounding and protection.
