10.05 Ct. Cabochon Rutilated Quartz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a striking, transparent smoky rutilated quartz weighing 10.05 carat, presented in an elegant oval shape with dimensions 27.76 by 17.29 by 5.90 mm, cut en cabochon to showcase its dramatic internal features. The stone displays a medium intense smoky tone that provides a sophisticated backdrop to an exceptional network of fine, hair like rutile needles, creating a lace like pattern that captures and guides light as the gem moves. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, so the rutile inclusions are a defining and attractive characteristic rather than a detriment. The cabochon cut and excellent polish emphasize the stone s internal texture and depth, while its transparency allows the rutile to read clearly through the body of the quartz. This piece is natural with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a locality known for producing fine rutilated quartz with distinctive needle formation and tonal quality.

For jewelry designers and collectors seeking a center of attention specimen, this 10.05 carat smoky rutilated quartz from The Natural Gemstone Company is exceptionally versatile. Its size and oval cabochon profile are ideal for bespoke rings, bold pendants, or statement cufflinks where the surface polish and internal rutile can be admired without interruption. The medium intense color makes it wearable with a range of metals, from warm gold to cool platinum, and the natural, unenhanced state appeals to connoisseurs who value authenticity and provenance. We recommend secure bezel or prong settings that protect the domed surface while allowing light to enter, and routine care consisting of gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths to preserve the polish.
