Item Description

A striking, double amethsyt crystal scepter cluster from recent finds in the famous Goboboseb Mountains. This dramatic piece is super glassy and has high transparency. The skeletal features, shading variations of the juicy grape amethyst and clay inclusions are supremely noteworthy. Every turn of these sharp, pseudohexagonal crystals presents an entirely different perspective of the outside and interior of this stunning crystal cluster. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, the contacting on the lower part has only trivial bruising near the feldspar. A very fine example from Brandberg. Fairly valued at $500-700. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
