Rutilated Quartz Pendant

This 60 x 22 mm pendant, crafted in high-purity 950 silver, features a large, 45 x 22 mm, gold-plated rutilated quartz, faceted and cut in a teardrop shape, and prong-set on a simple gallery. This impressive stone, both in size and quality, clearly reveals the golden rutile needles that run through it in every direction. It is a natural beauty worthy of being worn every day.

Rutilated quartz is simply quartz whose interior has been "pierced" by inclusions of rutile, a needle-like mineral ranging in color from brown to reddish, composed of titanium oxide. These needles appear within the quartz as a luminous, bright golden color. It was once considered to represent sunlight captured by the stone and was believed to bring light to those experiencing gloomy moods.
