Item Description

A striking, cabinet-sized Amethyst scepter from the Antsakoanimanta locality in Madagascar. The dramatic, and notably unbalanced, sharp Amethyst "side scepter" rests along on a stout Quartz prism. Just a little bit of damage, but good shape overall, and the Quartz crystal is actually VERY GEMMY inside, while the Amethyst scepter is a bit more translucen.t Complete-all-around, both the Amethyst and Quartz are lightly frosted. Some remarkable Amethyst scepters has been found at this very uncommon locale, but are seldom on the market.
