Item Description
The famous quartz crystals from Denny Mountain, Washington are highly desirable, difficult to obtain and very dangerous to collect. Several people have lost their lives collecting there, over the years. A striking, complete all-around and nearly pristine, amethyst scepter, such as this, is supremely desirable. A very glassy, transparent, 2.5 x 2.5 cm, amethyst crystal is is beautifully sceptered atop a lustrous, translucent, sharpy pseudohexagonal, quartz crystal stalk. You can see the distinct phantom termination of the quartz crystal within the scepter. Get one of this uncommon quality, while you can. They are seldom available on the market like this. A trivial bit of termination and edge wear is noted to the scepter. The quartz stalk is pristine and has a healed termination at the base, which is rare. Self-collected by Karl Faddis (a Seattle-area native collector).
