🏆 Museum-Grade Smoky Quartz Trilliant 17.1ct – Rare Triangular Perfection
Why This Matters
The Problem: Most online gemstone retailers sell mass-market stones with inflated prices and vague origins. You're paying for marketing, not quality.
Our Solution: Direct-from-miner pricing with transparent provenance. Every stone is hand-graded by our gemologist with 15+ years Queensland experience. You get investment-grade quality at wholesale prices.
The Difference: We're gemstone specialists, not jewelry retailers. Our expertise is in sourcing, grading, and pricing stones fairly – not maximizing markup.
Why This Smoky Quartz Is Museum-Worthy
The trilliant cut is one of the rarest and most challenging cuts in gemology. This 17.1-carat smoky quartz showcases perfect triangular symmetry with eye-clean clarity and rich cognac brown color that belongs in the finest collections. Only the top 1% of gem cutters can execute a trilliant cut properly – the three-sided symmetry must be perfect, or the stone loses its geometric appeal. This specimen represents hundreds of hours of expertise and showcases flawless triangular proportions with brilliant faceting that captures and reflects light from every angle.
- Collector-Grade Rarity – Museum-quality trilliant cut with perfect geometry
- Substantial 17.1 Carats – Statement-sized gemstone for bold designs
- Eye-Clean Clarity – No visible inclusions, exceptional transparency
- Rich Cognac Brown – Deep, warm color with golden undertones
- Precision Trilliant Cut – Rare triangular shape with brilliant faceting
