What makes this rutilated quartz so exciting & extraordinary?  The rutile inclusions are the variety Sagenite (of Saussure) - the needle-like crystals cross at the same angles, forming a perfect mesh-like network of parallelograms!  Gemmologists will love this stone (I know I do - it will be hard to part with this little beauty).  

A stunning and unusual gemstone suitable for the collector or the jeweller looking for something a little different.
