{"product_id":"rutilated-quartz-4-00","title":"Rutilated Quartz $4.00","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"77\" data-end=\"455\"\u003eRutilated quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) that contains needle-like inclusions of rutile, a titanium dioxide mineral (TiO₂). These golden, silver, or reddish strands form naturally within the quartz crystal as it grows, creating striking internal patterns. Each tumbled piece has been polished for a smooth, reflective finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"466\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"559\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"470\" data-end=\"559\"\u003eComposition: Silicon dioxide (quartz) with embedded rutile (titanium dioxide) inclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"682\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"682\"\u003eAppearance: Transparent to translucent quartz with fine, hair-like inclusions that can appear golden, coppery, or dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"818\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"818\"\u003eFormation: Forms in hydrothermal environments where both quartz and rutile crystallize together under high temperature and pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"945\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"945\"\u003ePhysical Properties: Hard (Mohs 7), with excellent durability and natural visual complexity due to the internal inclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003eEducational Value: Offers a compelling example of mineral inclusions, crystal growth processes, and the coexistence of multiple minerals within a single specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1268\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eTumbled rutilated quartzes showcase how mineral chemistry and geologic conditions can produce intricate natural structures inside otherwise clear crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Science Museum of Minnesota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67599753249065,"sku":"R400","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1321\/7603\/files\/tum-indiv-quartz-rutillated_580x_521f99b7-609f-43e3-9f99-4dd7c71a83d6.webp?v=1791574492","url":"https:\/\/www.theurbancharm.com\/products\/rutilated-quartz-4-00","provider":"The Urban Charm ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
