Gold Rutilated Quartz Argentium Sterling silver Necklace

This inverted teardrop shaped Gold Rutilated Quartz gemstone has a lot of "gold needle" inclusions inside of it. That is what "rutilated" refers to, the needles or lines and patterns of "gold" inside the stone. This one is a very excellent example, with lots of shiny and bright inclusions. I have wire wrapped this stone with tarnish resistant Argentium Sterling Silver wire. The Argentium Silver chain is machine soldered (closed) link. There is an extension chain at the end to add opportunity for adjustments.  Lengths:   chain - 18+2 inches  pendant - 1 7/8 inches
