This extraordinary faceted Rutilated Quartz is precision-cut into a modern, geometric kite shape measuring 27mm by 14mm with a substantial 7.5mm height. Unlike traditional smooth cabochons, this stone features crisp facets that capture and reflect light, highlighting the mesmerizing "needles" of golden rutile trapped within the crystal-clear quartz matrix. Each stone is a natural work of art, featuring unique, hair-like inclusions that create a brilliant, metallic contrast against the transparent background.
The sharp, architectural lines of the kite cut make this a perfect choice for avant-garde jewelry designs, such as a striking vertical pendant or a bold, directional statement ring.
Key Properties & Care
Rutilated Quartz combines the durability of clear quartz with the delicate beauty of rutile inclusions. To maintain its clarity and sharp faceted edges, please follow these guidelines:
Mohs Hardness: This stone has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. It is highly resistant to scratching, making it durable enough for daily wear and helping the facets remain crisp over time.
Cleaning: Gently clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. A mild soap is safe to use. Because of the facets, a soft-bristled toothbrush can be helpful for removing dust from the edges. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Maintenance:
Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the stone to harsh household chemicals, bleach, or acidic solutions which could potentially seep into any surface-reaching inclusions.
Avoid Impact: While quartz is hard, the pointed tips of a kite cut can be vulnerable to chipping if struck against a hard surface. We recommend a secure setting that protects the corners.
Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box. Even though it is a hard stone, it should be kept away from diamonds or sapphires to avoid any risk of surface abrasion.
