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

This is a remarkable transparent smoky rutilated quartz of 25.69 carats, presented in an elegant oval shape with dimensions 23.38 x 17.39 x 8.94 mm, and finished in a smooth cabochon cut. The stone displays a medium intense smoky tone that enhances the dramatic network of needle like rutile inclusions, creating a striking visual depth and a unique pattern that is different from every angle. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the rutile needles are the defining beauty rather than detracting imperfections, and the overall transparency allows light to travel through the stone and play with the internal silk. The polish is excellent, giving the surface a glossy mirror like sheen that complements the internal textures, and there has been no enhancement to alter its natural appearance. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance prized for fine quartz varieties, and the combination of size, cut, and natural rutile pattern makes this specimen perfect for collectors and designers seeking a statement centerpiece.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this smoky rutilated quartz as a ready to set focal stone that will work beautifully in a bespoke ring or a bold pendant, and it also suits artisan cufflinks or a distinctive brooch. The generous dimensions and solid depth allow flexibility for secure bezel settings that protect the cabochon edge, while a well executed prong setting can showcase the stone to full effect using minimal metal. For care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding steam and harsh chemical cleaners and avoiding ultrasonic cleaners if the mounting or setting introduces stress points. This piece is offered as a natural, untreated gemstone, and we are happy to provide additional photos, measurements, and personalized advice on setting options and custom design. Please contact The Natural Gemstone Company for availability, pricing, and any further information needed to bring this character rich smoky rutilated quartz into your next fine jewelry creation.
