Product Description
Small pear or teardrop shaped semiprecious gemstone partial Star Rutilated Quartz designer cabochon just 18 mm by 12 mm and 4 mm thick.
These are cut with a smaller table on the bottom, mostly flat topped, and may have some natural rough spots due to its inclusions.
What might be considered the "Holy Grail" for quartz inclusion collectors is the rutile/hematite starburst. In these pieces a six sided, shiny black hematite crystal serves as an alignment point for the rutile which, in the best examples, line up in parallel bundles along each face forming a six rayed star with a hematite center.
Such pieces are sought after and highly valued even when the stars overlap or are incomplete.
This is one of the cabochon stones that is actually prized for its inclusions! Gold-colored, hair-like inclusions of rutile embedded in this semiprecious gemstone give it the appearance of a lightning show or meteor shower.
Metaphysical Properties: Rutilated Quartz is said to enhance physical and mental balance and stability, self-reliance and finding one's way.
