"had many dark inclusions as they were supposed to have but they were craked inside also i don't know if they were supposed to be craked but i feel it took away from the beauty. if they are supposed to have the crakes then they are great and i miss graded them. if it were other stones with the crakles i would send them back because i know they are supposed to be clean and unmarred."

"I was hoping for a large number of needles in the gem. This gem only has about 3-4 of the black needles. I should have paid more attention to the picture on-line because the gem looks just like the picture. The gem itself is very beautiful. Overall, I am very happy with the gem. I am going to try again and this time I will order one that is shown to have a lot of needles in the stone."

"I really like the tourmalinated quartz from Brazil. The clarity of the crystal is amazing. One can easily see the varied pictures the rutiles create. Great purchase."
