Item Description
A striking and superb smoky/amethyst quartz crystal scepter from recent finds in the famous Goboboseb Mountains. This dramatic piece is super glassy and is totally limpid. The beautiful form, impressive skeletal features, internal crazing with clay inclusions and shading variations of the smoky colors with just a bit of amethyst are supremely noteworthy. Every turn of this sharp, pseudohexagonal crystal presents an entirely different perspective of the outside and interior of this stunning crystal. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only the tiniest of termination wera. This is certainly one of the best Brandberg sceptered quartzs that we have offered at auction. Fairly valued at $1000 and well worth it. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
