Item Description
This very unique and interesting Spruce Ridge plate is dominated by a large (4.4 cm) scepter crystal that is amethystine at the top. It is zoned, not phantomed nor scepterd. The effect is most unusual and frankly really beautiful in a subtle manner. The large crystal is framed by smaller quartz crystals, the larger of which also have amethystine terminations. The luster is good and the crystals have more clarity than could be shown in the pictures (they are water clear!). The large crystal does have a tiny ding on one side but it is not noticeable from most display angles. One other crystal has a ding but the rest are, amazingly, in great shape. This is a unique, large, and very appealing quartz plate from a remote and hard-to-colelct locale, visibly distinct from just about any other quartz specimens. For that reason, more than anything, we really like it! Valued $1250
