03. THE FIRST GLANCE

The Moment It Captures You

Through the clear stone run thin lines of gold and copper-red light. A single line, crossing lines, lines spreading like a star. A small universe is born within.

04. BORN FROM EARTH

A Miracle Born of the Earth

Rutilated quartz is quartz in which needle-like rutile has grown. The pairing of clear crystal and a metallic mineral makes a landscape like no other.

05. MYTH & COSMOS

Myth & Stars

From the look of light streaks held within, it has been compared to hair, rays, and the orbits of stars. We do not confirm a specific planetary correspondence, and tell the story of light crossing a transparent universe.

06. THE BEAUTY WITHIN

One Stone, One Character

Thickness, color, direction, density of the needles. No two landscapes are alike, and a one-of-a-kind star map is drawn within each stone.

07. ARTIST'S NOTE

Through the Eyes of MEGUMI HARUNA

Rutilated quartz has a light that recalls the paths in the heart. It is a stone that teaches us that even the time spent wandering will become a beautiful line.
