inch Rutilatedinch Natural Rutilated Quartz Nugget on Goldtone Chain 18 Inches

Rutilated quartz is one of my favorite minerals. It has fascinating inclusions called rutile, which come from impurities of titanium dioxide. They actually increase the value of the quartz as a gemstone! We selected some nice samples at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, and put them on a handsome Hamilton gold(tone) rolo chain. The nuggets are natural stone so they vary a little-- see other photos (you will get one of these). The last photo shows a large example of heavily rutilated quartz in the rough. Comes in a Style ARThouse gift box with a little title card giving description and care instructions.
