Rutilated quartz is a type of quartz with needlelike rutile (a titanium dioxide mineral), embedded in it. The rutile needles can be reddish, which is what rutile means in Latin, or they may be golden, silvery, or on very rare occasions, greenish.

Rutilated quartz aids in getting energy moving on all levels. It facilitates mental focus and can attract love, and can stabilize relationships. Rutilated quartz is particularly effective for getting things moving energetically. It can  vitalize slowed or clogged chakras to return to normal spin and balance.

Emotionally, rutilated quartz is very helpful in uncovering the causes of mental issues and hang-ups. It diminishes fears and is excellent at assisting with decision-making processes. It can also ease loneliness and relieve guilt. In this manner, it can facilitate a state of happiness. It also can help one get out of a rut with their life. It is also helpful for stabilizing the emotional and mental processes, and can clarify thought patterns and emotional reactions. Used for guidance, rutilated quartz also increases one's self-reliance and ability to find one's own way.

In the psychic and spiritual realms, rutilated quartz is used for meditation, spiritual communications, and dream work. It is especially good for seeking higher spiritual experiences and meditation on the feminine nature of ideas. Rutilated quartz can also deflect negative energies and unwanted energetic, psychic, and magical interferences.

Physically, rutilated quartz is said to be beneficial for food disorders, the immune system, regeneration of tissue, fatigue, depression, respiratory illness, stability of all physical systems and general health, and absorption of nutrients from food. It is also helpful for getting energy moving in meridians and areas where the physical energy is sluggish. Rutiliated quartz is also a crystal "diagnostic tool" which can help discover the true cause of an ailment.
