Brazilian Rutilated Quartz 2.50 ct

Modified Portuguese Design
Faceted by Elaine Songer

Quartz with Golden Straw Rutiles

The most unusual look of this stone is due to the golden needle-like inclusions known as rutiles, thus the name Rutilated Quartz.

These stones are most usually cut encabochon. However, the faceted rutilated quartz is becoming very popular.
