Item Description

These smoky quartz scepters from Hallelujah Junction in Nevada are world famous for their dramatic shape and form! The specimen here has a robust, balanced scepter atop that is neither too big nor too small. It has a nice visual impact. It is complete and undamaged atop (many are broken or chipped on those fat scepter tops). It is only repaired (with minor restoration as well) at a join near the base where the stem of the scepter crystal joins the adjacent accent crystal at the bottom. Specimens of this caliber and style routinely sell for $5000 or so, if without repair and restoration, as a guideline (so this is valued at something less, but still has the same impact visually). This is a superb example in the size, and was collected (and donated) by mine partner and crazy amazing mineral recovery god, Rick Kennedy. He can smell the pockets, people say...
