Smoky Quartz No. 15VLD: Shuttle Cut, VVS, 5.22 ct., 16.7 x 6.6 x 8.1 mm, faceted by V. Drummond, $62.64 The Shuttle Cut gets its name from the fact that it is shaped like a shuttle used in weaving. The above stone is pointed on both ends and the crown is traversed by a series of step facets that are perpendicular to the long axis. Some would call the above stone citrine, but that term should only be applied to quartz that is truly a pure yellow color. This well crafted gem would make an unusual centerpiece in a pendant, pin, or ring. Return to inventory list
