Description

Gemstone: Rutilated Smoky Quartz - 348.13 Cts.
Presumed Brazil
41.51 x 36.81 x 27.47 mm

Impressive in both scale and presence, this 348.13-carat Rutilated Smoky Quartz is a masterful example of natural drama captured in faceted form. Fine golden Rutile needles are suspended within the gem's smoky-brown body, creating a captivating interplay of light and texture beneath the surface. Expertly fashioned in an elongated octagon with precise step facets, the stone displays crisp geometry that enhances its internal reflections. Too large for wear, this extraordinary piece was cut for display-its mirror polish and intricate inclusions offering endless visual depth. A true showcase of fine gem-cutting, this bridges the line between gemstone and natural sculpture.
