Quartz Cabochons (Rutilated)

Rutilated Quartz Cabochons

A gorgeous selection of A grade Rutilated Quartz cabochons. These really are stunning pieces with excellent clarity - it's just a shame they're not calibrated, really.

Our freeform cabochons are sold singly as they are simply unique!

Rutilated Quartz is caused by the inclusion of thin golden needles of Rutile (Titanium Dioxide) into Quartz crystals.

• #1 - 16x10.5x6.5MM - a nice teardrop cut cabochon with very obvious if somewhat indistinct rutilations.
• #2 - 27.5x19x5.8MM - a nice teardrop cabochon, one of my favourites, with somewhat subtle horizontal needles of Rutile.
• #5 - 18.5x11.5x6.1MM - a good clear teardrop cab with obvious rutilations.
• #6 - 17.5x12.7x4.4MM - a strongly rutilated teardrop with a few fractures and inclusions.
• #7 - 17.5x10x5.7MM - a good horizontally rutilated oval cabochon with a few internal fractures.
• #12 - 31x11.8x3.5MM - minimal, quite thin rutilations in a teardrop cabochon.
• #13 - 17.3x9.3x4.1MM - this rectangular cabochon has some nice bright golden rutilations, but unfortunately not too many of them.
• #14 - 24.2x13.3x6.8MM - a clear teardrop cab with some minor rutilations and other inclusions/fractures.
• #15 - 25.7x14.5x7.7MM - an interesting teardrop cabochon with straw yellow rutile.
• #17 - 13.8x13.8x5.7MM - a mixed up teardrop with plenty of rutilations.
• #18 - 11.8x8x5.7MM - a mixed up teardrop with plenty of rutilations.
• #19 - 29.7x12.6x8.2MM - a mixed up teardrop with plenty of rutilations.
• #20 - 34.8x16.6x7MM - a rather nice marquise shape, plenty of clarity, a nice bright stone.
• Various sizes of calibrated cabochons, where stocks are available. Our grading structure is A-C, where A are the clearest and nicest, and C are slightly cloudy and may have less inclusions.
