Product Description for Min 9.00ct Mm Varies Oval Cats Eye Rutilated QuartzMost 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.

"Whether or not you like a particular piece of rutilated quartz is highly personal. Knowing this, I ordered three different cats eye rutilated quartz with the intent of keeping the one I liked the best. While this one was very dense with rutile needles and did have a strong cats eye effect, I just didn't (personally) like it as much as one of the others. I'm still waiting for the third to arrive before deciding which one to keep, but this one won't be it. To others who read this review, though, it's a great price for something like this, so don't let my personal taste discourage anyone from giving this a try! Anyway, the one you get will have it's own distinct characteristics and you will have your own personal reaction to it. Good luck!"
