Rutilated Quartz Pendant

This 36 x 20 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver. The 22 x 19 mm rutilated quartz is presented as a polished oval cabochon and set in a silver box with a beveled clasp, open at the back to allow light to pass through. The stone's interior is pierced by rutile inclusions, which, taking advantage of its translucency, appear as tiny, luminous, golden needles. This is an elegant and unique piece of jewelry.

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.
