Rutilated Quartz Necklace Pendant
An unusually large AAA grade rutilated quartz gemstone mounted as a pendant necklace in a fine sterling silver setting.
The golden hair-like strands within the quartz are crystals of the mineral rutile. They exhibit a silky lustre and with the reflection of light glisten beautifully. They're far more subtle than they appear in our photos.
The delicate yellow hue of the quartz is caused by the colour of the rutile inclusions. Were they not to be present the quartz would be colourless.
Any type of quartz with inclusions is known as included quartz. When included with the mineral rutile it's also known as rutilated quartz or golden rutile. Rutile is one of the most common inclusions in quartz.
This unique rutilated quartz pendant has been crafted entirely by hand. The setting which is fine sterling silver features our own SM hallmark from the London Assay Office.
This ladies pendant can be purchased with or without one of our Italian made sterling silver chains.
