The gold rutiles in this quarts are amazing. When lava degases it created bubbles or vugs and pegmatites which form large crystals at the end-stage of cooling. One of the theories is that quartz permeates a vug and then the rutile precipitates and grows within the stone as it cools. I used sterling silver wire to wrap this polished quartz stone. I did 3 different types of weaving to create the elegant frame around the quartz.
Dimensions:
1.75” Tall
.75” Wide
.25” Thick
Weight:
6.5 Grams
I price my wire wrap pendants based on the weight of the stone, by price per gram, and how long it took me to wire wrap each stone, as well as the price on the potency and quality of my minerals, and the amount of materials it took.
I find my research from The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks and Minerals, A very deeply informational detailed book.
If you have any questions, please ask. I am happy to help.
