History and folklore
Rutilated quartz forms when crystals of rutile, a titanium mineral, grow first and are then surrounded by quartz. The golden needles have inspired lovely names over the centuries, including Venus's hair and angel hair, and in folklore they were sometimes called Cupid's darts. It is found mainly in Brazil and Madagascar. Witches treat it like clear quartz with extra fire: a stone to amplify intention, sharpen focus, and draw abundance and confidence.
