Exclusive blog previews : Steampunk Phantom Quartz Bracelet

Recently quartz has been my favorite mineral . I had Smoky quartz,Black rutilated , golden rutilated ,coppery rutilated and Multi rutilated quartz . Now i have received a new specimen called phantom quartz . I received some mineral color Phantom quartz :

First i had no idea what i would do with it but everything falls into places as i just follow the shapes of the stones with wire .

I have used Tinned Copper wire to match with the earthy nature of the quartz.

I will make a ring and pendant to match with this bracelet as a set , maybe some earrings too.

These are the 2 pendant i received .

NEW - CYBER STEAMED RINGS

This is the new variation of rings called CYBER STEAMED that I'm introducing to my ETSY shop . It is the brother of my Golden rutilated quartz Steampunk model . With silver colored wire , black metal and black rutilated quartz it fits with cyberpunk . This model is more masculine and has a modern feel because of the choice of material .

Steampunk Rutilated Quartz Rings

A few weeks ago i received the rutilated quartz i was waiting for . It is quite a challenge to find the exact size needed and good quality . I made a lot of research to finally find exactly what i was looking for.

Rutilated quartz can be in many places including Australia, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Norway, Pakistan and the United States.

There are a few types of rutilated quartz , The golden , The black and the Multi . Until recently i didn't know about this 3rd type of rutilated quartz as it is less common than the other one . Because rutilated quartz became one i my favorite stone i continued my search and found this awesome variation of the stone .

(Black on the left , 2 different Golden in the middle, Multi on the right)

When choosing rutilated quartz there are a few characteristics that makes it more valuable . The best quality is found when the rutile are long across the stone . The space between the rutile is translucent and or less cloudy . The visibility and size of the rutile . The coloring of the rutile . The polish of the stone and hardness .

So far i have not seen this variety of rutilated quartz on ETSY.

resemblance to cupids dart and it is also called Venus hair .
