Rutile included Quartz

Item Description

Everybody is probably familiar with this material, but have you seen how these gems have sky-rocketed in popularity recently? I have seen some European gem and jewelry dealers who are SELLING this material for $100 per carat, and it is flying off the shelves. 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 gems, but now they are becoming more difficult for me to purchase. This stone is essentially a colorless "Oval Cabochon" cut Quartz stone which features a few beautiful reddish metallic Rutile needles. With the high prices being paid for these gems, they may stay at a high value from now on.
