Rutile has been known to represent both the lovely hair of Venus and the "sweet" tipped arrows of love. It has been likened to the appearance of wheat straw and angel hair, especially when found within another crystal (e.g., Quartz, Topaz, Amethyst, etc.). The etheral aspects of Rutile, when found within another crystalline form, bring strength with love, ease in transition, growth in all avenues of ones development, and calm, reason, and order. Rutile is a "stone for stabilization", of relationships, marriages, mental processes, and emotional and physical imbalances. It allows for the realization that each person shares the powers of the universe, the passions of the planets, and the understanding from the advanced worlds. Rutile is used for healing and balancing the aura via repelling negative energy. It affects the physical, etheric, and astral bodies. It assists one in getting to the "root" of a problem and, hence, provides for access to the reason for a dis-ease, so that one can remedy the situation. It also dispels unwanted interference from both the physical and spiritual worlds--the mechanism is unclear, but in the physical world, it tends to eliminate circumstances which could facilitate interference; and, in the spiritual worlds, a clear meassage is sent, asking for no interference. In the cases of the spiritual worlds, one may relinquish this blockade without relinquishing same in the physical world. During astral travel, Rutile provides for insight into the reasons for visiting the locations and viewing the scenes; it stimulated awareness of the connections between this physical life and the situations which are viewed. This mineral has been usecd in the treatment of bronchitis, to stimulate "sparkle" in the eyes, to regulate mothers milk, to strengthen the walls of the blood veins, and to stimulate sexuality (when consciously directed). An elixir has been used, topically, for the treatment of wounds. Vibrates to the number 4 and the astrological signs of Gemini & Taurus.
