One of my most favorite semiprecious gemstones to work with and to wear
is Golden Rutilated Quartz. It looks like a frozen drop of water
with small bars of imbedded gold. And when the light hits it just right
all that gold explodes with tons of sparkles! oh and did you know what
one of the names for Golden Rutile Quartz is Venus Hair Stone. The
name is based on a beautiful legend. There was once Venus, goddess of
love bathed in mountain springs. Having lost a lock of her golden hair,
she returned to pick it up. But the time is a relative thing, what on
Mount Olympus were only a few moments, on Earth were several months! The
winter came and the water in the spring along with the hair was frozen.
They looked so beautiful in the frozen water, so Venus decided to leave
her wonderful hair, but turned the ice into a transparent stone first
(from the Greek. "kristallus - ice) so that no one can take the hair of
the goddess. And ever since that time people have found a clear crystal
that holds the divine hair of Venus. No wonder that gem is so
beautiful! How can one not love the gem containg hair from the Goddess
of Love?!
So here is my latest earrings and necklace set with Golden Rutilated Quartz and gold filled :)
