Product Description for 12mm Round Rutilated Quartz And Black Onyx Doublet-Q4R043Most 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 really got a nice gemstone. The rutilated quartz was crystal clear with a substantial amount of golden needles. The black onyx really makes the rutilated quartz pop. It would make a lovely ring or pendant, which I still haven't decided on yet. Hopefully I will be able to purchase a few more of these, in the future, and get the same quality as I did with this one. Good luck to anyone who buys this. I hope you get as nice of a gemstone as I did!"
