This eye catching rutilated quartz is a beautiful 10.12 carat pear shape cabochon, semi transparent with a subtle bluish grey hue that gives it an elegant and versatile presence. Measuring 17.82 x 12.29 x 7.03 mm, the stone presents a pleasing balance of size and wearability, making it suitable for a statement pendant or a refined ring. The internal network of fine, dark rutile needles creates a striking linear pattern that contrasts with the soft bluish grey body color, offering depth and character from every angle. Clarity is graded as eye clean evaluated at eye level, which allows the rutiles to be admired without any obtrusive flaws, and the polish is excellent, producing smooth reflective highlights across the domed cabochon surface. Color intensity is medium, lending the gem a dignified tone that complements both cool and warm metal settings. This piece has received no enhancement, and its natural origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing distinctive and high quality quartz specimens.
At The Natural Gemstone Company we appreciate how a singular natural inclusion pattern can turn a gem into a wearable work of art, and this rutilated quartz is a fine example of that quiet drama. Its pear silhouette lends itself to elegant drops and tapered bezel settings, and the cabochon cut softens reflections so the rutile patterns remain the focal point. For everyday wear we recommend secure prong or bezel settings and gentle care, cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or steam to preserve its natural integrity. Because the stone is untreated, its color and inclusions will remain authentic and unique, making it a wonderful choice for collectors and designers who value natural beauty. If you would like additional images, mounting suggestions, or assistance selecting a complementary pair or setting, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to help you bring this lovely Sri Lankan rutilated quartz to life in a custom piece.
