Rutilated quartz cab ~
Offered here is a fancy cabochon of fascinating rutilated quartz, from Brazil. 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 clear quartz shows some 'fairy frost' inclusions, with tiny flashing cleavage planes glinting at many angles. You should see how the rutile sparkles in direct sunlight, whoopeee! Like threads of spun gold! It has a very high rounded dome of 8mm, and despite a few negligible pits on the backside, it has a slick, glassy all-over polish. And at my per carat price of less than $3, it's a steal!
