Product Description for Min 11.00ct 16mm Round 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.

"I ordered several different stones to compare, since some have said that they have received stones with little rutiles, and they were marked down. All of them are stunning, with lots of rutiles, so I will be keeping them. It would make an excellent necklace or addition to my collection!""
