Rough rutilated Quartz isn't really available on the market, given it's value as cutting rough. (the Chinese are buying it at the mine and shipping right to China). I found this chunk in an old collection from the 1960's - 1970's. The rough is incredibly good- definately cutting rough! Thick golden needles of rutile in smoky quartz with small chips of Hematite. Deep inside the piece there are "rays," of rutile that may be part of a star. The rough weighs 327 grams. I've paired it with a 27 gram super bright Cab from the hawthorneden stock.
