Item Description
These classic stones from Brazil are the most iconic examples of Rutilated Quartz in the world. Everybody is probably familiar with this material, but I will say that they have sky-rocketed in popularity recently. I have seen some European gem and jewelry dealers who are SELLING this material for $100 per carat on a consistent basis. It seems to have found a niche in the European market, and buyers and dealers alike are scooping these gems up as fast as they can find them. I honestly have always liked these stone, but now they are becoming more difficult for me to purchase. This stone is a colorless Quartz with a "Pear" cut, which features a rich amount of beautiful metallic golden color Rutile needle inclusions. With the high prices being paid for these gems, they will more than likely stay at a high value from now on, so do not miss your chance to scoop up this top notch stone for a good price.
