Natural Rutile Quartz SS Pendant

Natural Rutile Quartz SS Pendant (shop SKU NAP125) is offered as a pendant online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Rutilated quartz is quartz with needle-like inclusions of rutile, which may be golden, copper, or reddish. In crystal traditions, it is associated with energy and with clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece.

SS in the title means sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and is often stamped .925. Like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
