Sagenite is a Silicon Dioxide and a macrocrystalline Quartz variety. Rutile is a Titanium Oxide.




Most transparent varieties of Quartz are valued most with no inclusions, Sagenite however is desired for it's included golden or red needles of rutile. These stones are formed because at high temperatures and pressure, the Quartz and rutile are in a liquid state. As these temperatures cool and the pressure drops, the two separate with the rutile needles being trapped inside the Quartz. A highly desired variety of Sagenite is Star Rutile. These stones are created when Hematite is present during the formation of Sagenite. The Titanium Oxide will radiate from the center of the Hematite in a star like pattern known as an asterism.
