Quartz is the most common of the silica minerals. The group is all composed of silicon dioxide but have different crystal structures.  The others form under specific conditions like very high temperatures.  The name quartz comes from the German quarz, without a “t”.  It may be derived from the Polish kwardy (“hard”). Pure quartz is colorless but trace metal inclusions can color it purple (amethyst), yellow (citrine), and brown (smoky quartz). It also forms in fibrous varieties without visible crystals like chalcedony.  

Tourmaline Quartz, also known as Tourmalinated Quartz, is a variety of Clear Quartz with naturally occurring needle-like inclusions of Black Tourmaline, also known as Schorl.

Quartz is one of the most useful natural materials. Its usefulness can be linked to its physical and chemical properties.

Quartz makes an excellent gemstone. It is hard, durable, and usually accepts a brilliant polish. Popular varieties of quartz that are widely used as gems include: amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and aventurine. Agate and jasper are also varieties of quartz with a microcrystalline structure.

Quartz with inclusions refers to clear quartz which may contain any one of many minerals within its crystal body. The most common mineral inclusions are Chlorite(green or lavender), Hematite (red/red sparkles), Goethite(orange yellow), Rutile(golden needles), Clay(brown), Mica(dark hexagon), Specular Hematite (dark flakes, sparkle), Epidote (green needles), Tourmaline (black needles) Liquid or gasses (bubble) and even Gold and Silver. These combinations occur when a mineral, already present is enclosed by the quartz as it grows. The minerals could also have formed in fissures or cracks of the quartz which had already finished growing. Many crystals are enhanced by the presence of these minerals which often display lovely optical effects, color or visual interest. ( Source credit: Enter The Earth)

Tourmaline Quartz combines the properties of Tourmaline and Clear Quartz Crystal.  Tourmaline purifies ones own energies and protects from negativity, while Quartz amplifies energies focused through it.  This combination makes Tourmaline Quartz a powerful shield-stone that, depending on the desired intent of the wearer, can amplify and return negative energy, like a mirror, or can convert the negative energy into positive energy for the wearer.

Black Rutile QuartzThe main difference between black rutilated quartz and tourmalinated quartz is the crystalline inclusion itself.  Rutile is a type or of titanium, while tourmaline is a boron silicate. They both have the same color, and the thread-like formations are similar, but they have different chemical compositions.
