Rutilated quartz cab ~
Offered here is a fancy cabochon of top notch rutilated quartz, from Brazil. It features beautifully flashy needles of bright golden rutile, including an area at the bottom with shiny metallic hematite (oops, perhaps it's pyrite) that mimic the rutile needles. The quality I like best about it is the stone's remarkable depth, created by the many layers of rutile, one atop the other. The cab is loaded with needles, some in neat flat bunches criss-crossing every which way, so the stone has something going on virtually everywhere. There's very little 'fairy frost' present, if any, and the quartz is water clear. You should see how this baby sparkles in direct sunlight, whoopeee! It shines like threads of spun gold! I think this one's easily worthy of a custom gold setting, but whatever your plans for it, it'll make you proud. It has a very high rounded dome of 8mm, and a slick glassy polish both front and back. And at my per carat price of only $3, it's a steal.
