Goethite and Hematite in Quartz Oval: Interesting Layers; 10.7 cts; Brazil

Description

Another bold quartz gem with an unusual pattern of hematite and goethite needles with an area of transparent quartz sandwiched between. The goethite and hematite needles are near black with some iridescent flashes. Very dramatic. There is a girdle cut around the large table top, and the back is steeply tapered with a girdle, so that it can be used in a prong-type setting if desired. It would make a killer statement ring stone. I would suggest an open-back setting or basket setting to allow light to come in from the sides and back to allow exploring the depths of this unusual material. A beautiful quartz gem for a collection, or used as a striking centerpiece to a custom jewel design.

Shipping
Get free shipping on additional items when combining for Flat Rate delivery
If you are purchasing multiple items within 14 days of your first buy or auction win from me, it is usually possible to combine and pay for the items together to save on shipping costs. If they all fit into one Flat Rate box, the additional items ship at no extra postage cost. If you wish to take advantage of combined shipping of multiple items bought during a 14-day period, do not pay until after you have purchased your last item (or after your last auction item has closed), then send me a message requesting combined shipping. Because the items I sell vary widely in size, weight and fragility, some items may not be able to be shipped together, or may require a larger box. If you are bidding multiple bulky or fragile items, please provide me with your zip or postal code and ask me for an estimate of the cost. After your request, a new invoice will be issued with the postage adjusted.
Notes
:
Once you make a payment, I am obligated to arrange shipping within 24 hours and it will no longer be possible to combine additional items. Please wait until your last item has closed before paying, then request an invoice (on the payment screen, click "Request amount").
Some international destinations shipped to using eBay's Global Shipping program are currently not able to be combined into a single package (please ask before bidding if the destination is outside the United States).
