Item Description

A fine polished quartz piece for a pendant, or just for the collector, with particularly strong rutile inclusions inside. Believe it or not, we purchased this in a jewelry booth at a mineral show in rural Hunan province in China (where so much of Brazilian and worldwide gem rough now goes for carving). At approx 25 grams or just over 125 carats, it is sizable. Just stunning for the contrast and shapes within! Also, it has a truly superb quality of polishing.
