Item Description
An impressive large Goboboseb amethyst crystal with a striking 6.8 cm slightly bent gemmy offset crystal at the tip! The glassy complex, sharply terminated crystal (a scepter in progress, or an aborted scepter?) has beautiful variable blush-purple color, water-clear to frosted faces, with some strikingly enhanced by skeletal features and oxide tinting. The lustrous, translucent body is variable rich grape-purple to violet. Complete all-around and nearly pristine with only very trivial termination bruising and minimal side wear/contacting on one prism face and two edges at the base of the scepter on one side. A fascinating and excellent 360-degree amethyst with a large scepter. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! valued $1200-1500
