Item Description

The sharply terminated amethyst scepters dramatically perched atop the tapered, transparent, smoky quartz crystal look like grape-purple turrets on a glassy guard tower! The variable purple hues to nearly colorless zones within the "turrets", high luster to the lightly frosted, stepped-growth faces of the smoky and riveting, sculptural, 360-degree form make for an outstanding and aesthetic specimen. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, the small ding to the fat scepter termination is noted, but is certainly a modest detraction to this lovely natural art form. Choice material from the Charlie Key dealer stock.
