DT Amethyst scepter (1980s find)

Item Description

Amethyst specimens from the 1980s find at this locale are an East Coast treasure. This is a very fine and aesthetic, glassy, doubly terminated scepter with pretty blush purple color attached to a milky quartz stalk. The scepter is complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only the most trivial hint of termination bruising (with a loupe), which is uncommon. The stalk is also essentially pristine. Three termination faces have interesting skeletal features. First discovered in 1981 and worked for approximately 10 years, this deposit yielded between 500 to 600 single scepter crystals and 35 crystal groups according to Volume 26, No. 2 of the Mineralogical Record (1995). An excellent and classic example of this find and locale. BETTER IN PERSON!
