History & Lore
Since ancient times, Rutilated Quartz has been a popular ornamental Crystal, especially in 18th century England and France. It has been referred to as Cupid's Darts, Venus Hair Stone, and Fleches d'amour. Smokey Quartz has been regarded as a sacred stone since the time of the Druids. Today, as the National Gem of Scotland, it is prominent in the jewelry, brooches, and kilt pins that adorn Highlander fashion.
Qualities & Uses
Rutilated Smokey Quartz is a powerful combination of Smokey Quartz and Rutiles. Smokey Quartz has an affinity for both Earth and Spirit energies, moving with ease between the two. The rich addition of rutiles, or needle-like structures in the stone, supercharges the properties of the Smokey Quartz and acts as a lightning rod to ground the energies into the physical world. With this powerful sense of stability, we can discover the root cause of issues and take the steps necessary for release and healing. In working with Rutilated Smokey Quartz, we can attune to spiritual wisdom and guidance and bring that knowledge to Earth in acts of grounded transcendence.

Care
Crystals fare best when they have a consistent opportunity to rest and re-energize in a process called “regeneration”. Use your intuition to choose the process and timing that most resonates with your relationship with Niara.
Elements bath - Moonlight frequencies amplify the natural vibrations of Crystals. Soil allows minerals to recalibrate to the vibration of the Earth. Fresh water can transfer energies that need to be released. Submerge your Crystal under your chosen element - whether it be a few minutes or even a full moon cycle.
Crystalline bath - Crystals can regenerate by being placed on other Crystals such as Kyanite or natural Citrine for 24 hours.
Breath/Meditation bath - Intentional breathing through meditation or any healing art is another restorative technique. As you breathe, imagine a ray of light passing through your Crystal, collecting what is no longer needed, and moving it back into the divine Universe.
