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

From the heart of Ceylon in Sri Lanka emerges a story etched in crystal and time, a smoky rutilated quartz that began as molten whispers deep inside the earth. Over millennia, silica and mineral traces conspired under heat and pressure to capture golden to bronze rutile threads, and light itself found new passages through this semi transparent gem. What reaches you now is a single oval cabochon weighing 64.06 carat, measuring 29.24 x 22.22 x 13.75 mm, a stone that carries the slow poetry of geology in every line. The medium intense smoky tone holds a quiet warmth, while the delicate rutile inclusions trace slender paths like ancient cartography, each needle reflecting a different moment from the stone s formation. At eye level the clarity grades as very slightly included, a candid attribute that only deepens the gem s personality, inviting the viewer to look closer and to see the earth s history suspended in a polished dome.

The journey from rough to refined was guided by careful hands and a discerning eye, a process we honor at The Natural Gemstone Company. Skilled lapidaries chose a cabochon cut to accentuate the stone s internal stories, smoothing its surface to an excellent polish that gives light permission to travel and reveal the rutile s lively patterns. No enhancements were applied, preserving the authenticity and natural character of this rutilated quartz. Set as a statement pendant, a talisman ring, or a contemplative collector s piece, this gem promises presence and conversation, an object that feels both ancient and intimate. We invite you to imagine its weight between your fingers, the rounded profile cool and reassuring, the play of light within offering a new discovery each time you lift it. At The Natural Gemstone Company we steward such pieces from mine to market with reverence, and this smoky rutilated quartz is a rare chapter in our ongoing tale of natural beauty.
