Just let us know when you place the order if you need a size that better suits your needs.

Rutilated Quartz |
Here is an old favorite back at the Rock Shed in the crushed rock
division. While I buy this material as Rutilated Quartz, it's really "mixed
quartz". It ranges from plain white to smokey quartz with golden rutiles in
it. So, if you are looking for high quality Rutilated Quartz, this may
disappoint. If however, you want to tumble some mixed colors of quartz with
a chance of getting some nice golden rutiles, this is it. From Brazil, this
material ranges in size from 1/2" to 1 1/4" but the majority is quite
uniform in size around 1 1/4".
