Golden Rutile Chips
“Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains needle-like inclusions of rutile. These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can appear silver, copper red or black.
The inclusions may be distributed randomly or in bundles, which sometimes are arranged star like, and they can be sparse or dense enough to make the quartz body nearly opaque.
While inclusions often reduce the value of a crystal, rutilated quartz is valued for the quality of these inclusions.”
This strand is made of chips and not round or other shapes normally used in stones. They average in size from around 7.5mm to around 12mm.
Threaded to a length of 17.5” (44.5 cm) to a sterling silver parrot clasp.
