Rutilated Quartz Silver Pendant

This pendant contains a very nice piece of Rutilated quartz.  The bezel is unique in that it is made of Sterling silver leaves.  The back is open so the gold inclusion needles pop! Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile.  These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can look silver, copper red or deep black. They can be distributed randomly or in bundles, which sometimes are arranged star-like, and they can be sparse or dense enough to make the quartz body nearly opaque. While otherwise inclusions often reduce the value of a crystal, rutilated quartz is valued for the quality and beauty of these inclusions.  The pendant hangs from an 18" Sterling chain.
 
Wearing Gold Rutilated Quartz enhances the ability to provide new opportunities and direction. Enhances creativity as it quiets the mind. Rutile Quartz creates a connection with the divine as it illuminates the soul for spiritual growth.
