Amethyst scepters (excellent) Jason New Coll.

Item Description

Las Vigas has produced some of the finest amethyst specimens around and this is an exceptional and sculptural large example. The dramatic cluster of variably-sized, tapered crystals looks like a colorful double X. In fact, several of the crystals are doubly terminated scepters, including the largest, at 8.5 cm. The lustrous, light blush-purple crystals have translucent bodies with gemmier terminations, some being water-clear. Most of the crystal faces have nifty stepped-growth. All of the major crystals are pristine. This amazingly elegant and artistic piece is from the Jason New Collection, a prominent Mexico miner and collector. Valued at $1750-2000 and worth it. You just dont see large Las Vigas pieces of this form and quality.
