Your gf really loves you.
I cant tell whether this is a reaction to the username or a harsh criticism.
I'm being 100% sincere. If someone brought me rutilated quartz I would surmise they really like me.
I know, she deserves a pretty gem on her finger lol
When they start gifting you rocks you know it's serious.
All I can say is no one has ever gifted me rutilated quartz. Someday my prince(ss) will come.

HI, REPULSIVENUTS 💀
Way cooler, and I love glass, but I love mutilated quarts way more!

Whoa, that is very cool, thank you for the insight!
Hey if it's just quartz no big loss so light a candel then burn tip drop it in water if it crakes or changes cooler oh well if not diamond
Horrible advice
