Item Description

A striking elbaite and quartz combination from a NEW FIND at this renowned locale. A 4.1 cm, gem, pretty bottle-green elbaite crystal is dramatically frozen in a doubly terminated, very classy quartz scepter along with sections of more elbaites. The mostly transparent scepter has fascinating skeletal and fenster features in the termination faces. The stalk and side car crystal are frosted. The impressive 360-degree scepter is pristine, except for one small termination edge bruise. Periphery wear at the base is noted, but certainly has only minimal impact to the overall high displayability of this very showy piece. Excellent combination material from this new find. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
