Item Description
I think most mineral/gem collector have seen this material. They've been available for decades, but recently they have sky-rocketed in value. Over the last several years, we've seen that some European gem and jewelry dealers are SELLING this material for upwards of $100 per carat, and it is flying off the shelves. It seems to have found a niche in the European and Japanese markets, and buyers and dealers alike are scooping these gems up as fast as they can find them. I honestly have always liked these stones, but now they are becoming more difficult to purchase for reasonable prices. This stone is essentially a colorless "Emerald" cut Quartz stone which features beautiful golden Rutile needles frozen inside. With the higher prices being paid for these gems, they will more than likely always stay at a high value from now on, so do not miss your chance to scoop up this top notch stone for a great price.
