The focal point of this necklace is a large, polished nugget of Rutilated Quartz, accented with tiny faceted olive green tourmaline rondels, gold beads, and slightly larger rutilated quartz rondels that are mostly clear with spikes of titanium oxide shooting through them.

The pendant in this necklace is an exceptional specimen of Rutilated Quartz, in which golden needles of titanium oxide have grown within a matrix of Smoky Quartz. It is from Brazil, which produces the finest Rutilated Quartz in the world.

While Rutilated Quartz comes in many varieties, the golden rutile needles in smoky quartz are the rarest and most highly prized by those who admire and collect gemstones.

The shape of this pendant has been sensitively crafted to best show off the radiating needles of titanium oxide in all their glory.

In our resident geologist’s opinion, this is a very special piece.
