Item Description

This is a unique, two-varietal quartz scepter from Madagascar. The primary cluster features transparent to translucent, colorless "rock crystal" quartz, crowned an incredibly stout and impressive purple "sand glass" amethyst. This dramatic piece showcases multiple colors of the same species in stunning association, with a perfect size for display and a striking contrast between the white quartz and deep purple amethyst. The specimen is even more impressive in person, almost appearing too perfect to be natural—yet it is entirely genuine. This is a truly exceptional and rare amethyst formation, unlike anything seen before. Ex Jingnan (Tom) Zhang.
