This first one is a black rutiliated.



Then I got several pieces of another rutiliated. I suppose it would be a gold rutiliated?

Both materials are getting hard to find and pricey in the rough now days. The black one is tourmailine in quartz. The gold is titainium rutile in quartz. There is also a silver rutile in quartz.
