Item Description
A striking and uncommonly fine large amethyst scepter from this less well-known locale. A 6.0 cm, sharp, variably blush-purple, glassy, translucent amethyst scepter is remarkably skewed and is partially doubly terminated. The scepter rests on a milky quartz stalk and a smaller scepter. Complete all-around. The termination and one edge are lightly bruised, but these can be strongly minimized by the correct display view. A lower scepter face is contacted, but there is no damage, per se. Rare, dramatic and choice material in this style from the Charlie Key dealer stock. Valued $500-650.
