Rutile pendant

.

The stone in this pendant is rutile quartz crystal. Polished from a single natural crystal, the rutile intrusions are titanium oxide in a matrix. The stone itself is a little over an inch long.

I know of three rutile crystals of this quality. One belongs to me, and I carry it in my pocket. The other belongs to the store, as an example, and is not for sale. The third is this one, which I built into a pendant today. The mounting is very simple, and custom made of sterling silver. (sold)
