Product Description for Min 50.00ct Mm Varies Cats Eye Rutilated Quartz-Q4V058Most varieties of quartz are prized for having few or no inclusions, which increases their value; rutilated quartz is more valuable and sought after because of its inclusions. These "inclusions" are golden needles of rutile that form different patterns inside the stone, sometimes referred to as "Venus hair." Each pattern is as different as two snowflakes are from each other, and some of them are remarkably beautiful. It is a great collector's stone and ranks 7 on Mohs' hardness scale.

"I have this amazing gem, I won it in the auction almost like a year ago, weight 49.53ct., and it has a lot of rutiles, you can see all the golden rutiles inside of the gem, this is unique, and very rare, when I won it I was looking for this gem all around the internet to see if I can find some information, because at the time I have it JTV didn't have it, and I was surprised when I see it is a very rare gem with a lot of value, so I'm very happy with mine, and more excited because I paid for it 59 bucks."
