Gorgeous 17.28ct emerald cut Rutilated Topaz

This is a unique piece for collectors or those looking for a bespoke gemstone. This large Swiss blue topaz is emerald cut, resulting in brilliant linear flashing that is accented by its glistening luster and great clarity. But the real difference in this piece is the rutile needles that run in opposition to its cut and flashing, giving this piece movement in both directions! It measures an impressive 20.1mm x 10.4mm x 7.1mm, and has a Mohs hardness rating of 8 out of 10 making it perfect for setting. Sourced from Brazil.
