Smoky Quartz (scepter) (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

Here we have a very attractive, sharp, well-formed, gemmy, smoky colored Quartz crystal which has formed a scepter on a nearly colorless Quartz "stem". Such great form on a piece this size is not common from this area, and it's nearly complete all the way around. I can see an area of incomplete growth on the back, otherwise it's in super shape. These are rare from Brazil with this specific shape and such fine crystallization and gemminess. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
