 Rutilated quartz is a type of quartz that contains rutile inclusions. These inclusions mostly appear golden, but they can also appear silver, copper red, or dark black. Rutilated quartz is prized for the quality and beauty of these inclusions.

 Quartz is one of the most common minerals. It is found in most rocks, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Quartz is resistant to weathering (rock breakdown), so sand is mostly composed of quartz grains, as other less resistant minerals have weathered away.
 In Latvia, quartz is very common as a component of glacier-borne rocks. An attentive and patient seeker can also find tiny quartz crystals formed in small voids in granite.
