Red Quartz Scepter (ex Charlie Key Collection)

Item Description

Classic material for the locale. A beautiful doubly-terminated, sharp, lustrous, hexagonal Quartz crystal with distinct red coloring from Hematite inclusions (and a slight amount of purple Amethst) sits aesthetically atop a single prismatic white Quartz crystal creating a gorgeous scepter habit specimen. This locality is well-known among collectors for its notably different colors and habits of Quartz. Good quality and showy from a few angles. Valued at $750. Ex Charlie Key personal collection. Charlie is arguably the most sucessful dealer of the second half of the 20th century, along with being the namesake for TWO mineral species (Keyite and Ludlockite).
