This is absolutely incredible. Far more stunning in the flesh!

Rare Copper Red Rutile cabochon - this is stunning.

Rutile derives its name from the Latin rutilus ('red'), in reference to the deep red color observed in some specimens when viewed by transmitted light. Rutile is an oxide mineral composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2), the most common natural form of TiO2.

Rutile has one of the highest refractive indices at visible wavelengths of any known crystal and also exhibits a particularly large birefringence and high dispersion.

Healing Properties of Rutile Quartz: Rutile comes from the latin Rutilus, meaning red. Rutile quartz is a strong healing stone; it promotes self-knowledge and personal integrity. Rutile quartz protects us from feral forces and encourages spirituality. It also offers protection from psychic attacks, and is thought to be able to neutralize the unhealthy influences even from our former lives.

Rutile inclusions enhance the metaphysical properties of the host quartz, thus providing a powerful tool for spiritual and self healing purposes. The gem gives us clarity of thought in times of stress and difficulty. We can make important decisions insightfully and calmly. This crystal is important for negating depression and loneliness.

Rutilated quartz is said to cleanse the immune system and slow down aging. It can heal radiation exposure. Rutilated quartz brings personal strength - we don't get dogged by depression, fear, self-loathing and insomnia. Instead we are on a quest for personal growth and foster understanding and forgiveness. This stone is very useful in aura cleansing practices. Place it on the solar plexus chakra for energy accumulation, on the throat chakra for the thyroid gland or on the thymus - heart chakra for obtaining spiritual intuition.

If you are surrounded by negativity this seems like the gemstone choice for you. You can use it in combination with other stones in special crystal patterns and grids.
