A New Type Of Rutilated Quartz Composite Product
Buyer beware. Rutilated quartz refers to natural quartz with rutile needle inclusions. Merchants carve rutilated quartz into spheres rather than pendants or cabochons to get higher prices.Since large and well-formed rutilated quartz spheres are rare, it is possible to make those of lower quality into doublets with top covers of glass or synthetic quartz. If doubtful, always consult a reputed gem testing laboratory.
