A true time capsule piece, this pendant is vintage deadstock originally from The Nature Company, the iconic store that celebrated natural history in the 1990s. The focal point is a rectangular cabochon of clear quartz densely packed with copper-colored rutile needles, creating a warm, metallic glow that shifts in the light.
The stone is bezel-set in polished sterling silver with a sturdy bail. Because this is "new old stock," it has never been worn and remains in pristine vintage condition. It is a beautiful example of natural gemstone jewelry from the era. Stamped 925 on the bail. Chain not included.
Metaphysical Note: Rutilated Quartz is often called the "Illuminator," believed to connect the physical world with the spiritual. Copper rutile specifically is thought to amplify energy and assist in grounding high-frequency vibrations.
