Item Description
A glassy, gem-like, Herkimer quartz "diamond" scepter very nicely accented with a shard of matrix and a smaller crystal from the famous deposits at Middleville, New York. The internal crazing really adds character to the complete all-around "diamond" and the quartz stalk is also terminated, thus this is a doubly terminated specimen. The trivial edgewear is a very modest detraction to this contemporary classic material. Ex Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $100 as a free bonus.
