Item Description
Two examples of classic rutilated quartz that localized around hematite, included inside quartz, and now cut into appealing and wearable gemstones. The larger is 46.3 carats and 3.1 x 2.2 x 0.6 cm, and shows a dramatic star within of rutile radiating out from a central hematite crystal. This is classic for the material. The smaller stone is 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.6 cm and 8.1 carats, with an unusually sharp hematite crystal within.
