Item Description

A very fine quality, scepter crystal of beautiful purple Amethyst from the well-known Goboboseb Mountains, near Brandberg, Namibia. The scepter is aesthetically sitting on matrix, creating a very eye-catching display specimen. In addition to the beautiful color, the crystal is gemmy, which is amplified by the surface luster on every side of the specimen. I love the defined scepter crystal habit on the piece, as has such smooth and well-formed faces. The piece is in very good condition all around, with no major damage that I can find. Please check out the video in this listing to get a better idea of the quality and overall style of the piece. Priced at $750 on the previous dealer label, and it could even be more in today's market.
