ULTRA RARE lot of Metallic Blood Red Rutile Crystal Faceting Rough from Pakistan. Clean Rutile is a rarity and this material is unusually clean for the species. Most of these are well terminated elongated Crystals and they are probably more valuable than the Facet Rough they are composed of; however, we have purchased the material as Facet Rough and are selling it as such. The stones are mostly elongated crystal sections and as such your faceting plans will have to revolve around such designs. The material is mostly clean and most stones should yield Eye-Clean to Flawless finished gems with relative ease.

Please note that the material has a metallic property and it is difficult for light to pass through the material even though it is exceptionally clean. This is a property of the stone and most gems cut from this should be brilliant to bring out as much fire as you can. We don't have any more of this and don't anticipate on picking up any more in the near future as it was the first time we saw such clean material in close to a decade available in Pakistan. If you are a Rutile or rarity fan you can't do without this!
