Rutilated Quartz Gemstone Pendant
This elegant rutilated quartz pendant has been crafted by hand in a fine sterling silver setting. The bale carries our own SM hallmark from the London Assay Office.
Rutilated quartz features fine needle-like crystals of the mineral rutile. The rutile grows within the quartz over millions of years.
One of the most popular varieties of included quartz, rutilated quartz is also known as golden rutile and rutile quartz.
The colour of the quartz is heavily influenced by the rutile inclusions. Were they not present, the quartz would almost certainly be colourless.
The age of rutilated quartz varies depending on where it was found and how it formed. However, it's generally believed to be between 200 million and 400 million years old.
This rutilated quartz gemstone has been faceted, which enhances its colour and the way it reflects light.
This pendant may be purchased with one of our Italian-made, sterling silver snake chains.
