Rutilated quartz cab ~
Offered here is a fancy cabochon of rutilated quartz, from Brazil, some of the best I've ever had to work with. It features beautifully flashy needles of bright golden rutile, scattered like jackstraws. The quality I like best about it is the stone's remarkable depth, created by the many layers of rutile, bunched up, single, and one atop the other, criss-crossing every which way. The water clear quartz really shows off this stone's golden inclusions, and oddly enough, there seems to be a scattering of tiny bubbles that are kind of neat. And you should see how dazzling the rutile looks in direct sunlight, just like threads of spun gold! It has a beautifully rounded dome of nearly 6mm, a designer 'paisley' shape, and a slick, glassy all-over polish.
Size: 45x23mm
Weight: approximately 46 carats
