Beautiful Rutilated Quartz Stone

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yes, I've been gone awhile and loving every minute of it. I did have a chance to work on some new jewelry designs.

This is a four strand stretch bracelet with rectangle rutilated quartz stone. Alternating with gold czec glass beads, this turned out to be a favorite of mine.

Quarts is a very common mineral. It can be found in almost every corner of the world. What "rutilated" means is there is a quartz stone with rutile enclosures. Simply put, dark streaking throughout the stone in different colors. It appears in long thin shots of color. Some examples, rutile inclusions are all on the same axis so each rutile strand is visible. Such rich earth tones, very beautiful stone.
