At \u003cstrong\u003e17 x 14 x 7 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and just \u003cstrong\u003e3.5 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, it's substantial enough to read clearly against a shirt but light enough that you forget you have it on by mid morning. The faceted trapezoid cut catches light from several directions at once, and each time it turns, the \u003cstrong\u003egolden rutile needles\u003c\/strong\u003e suspended inside the clear quartz flash and then settle again. It hangs on your choice of \u003cstrong\u003e18k gold vermeil\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003esterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA fair question, and one people ask constantly about this material: are those golden threads natural, or has something been put into the stone? They're entirely natural. Rutilated quartz on the market is considered untreated, enhanced by nothing more than cutting and polishing. No dye, no filler, no lab grown fibre. What you're seeing formed underground over an unimaginable stretch of time, and it's the reason no two of these pendants will ever match. Pattern is the fingerprint here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the detail that makes collectors fond of this stone. \u003cstrong\u003eRutile\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft mineral, far too fragile to survive on its own as fine needles like these. Left exposed, strands that delicate would simply break apart. They endure only because the much harder \u003cstrong\u003equartz\u003c\/strong\u003e grew around them and has been protecting them ever since, like threads sealed in glass. The pendant you're wearing is essentially a preservation case built by geology. In tradition, rutilated quartz is linked with \u003cstrong\u003eclarity\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003econfidence\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emanifestation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it's a favourite among people who keep a stone nearby while they work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural rutilated quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faceted trapezoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 x 14 x 7 mm, 3.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prominent golden rutile needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your choice of 18k gold vermeil or sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing your rutilated quartz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuartz is hard enough at roughly 7 on the Mohs scale to handle daily life without fuss, though it's still worth storing separately so nothing knocks against the facet edges. Wipe the stone with a soft cloth when it loses its sparkle, which is usually just skin oils rather than anything serious. Put jewellery on last, after lotion and perfume, and both chain options will stay looking new far longer. You'll receive the exact necklace shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
