Item Description
A colorful, dramatic and rare combination specimen from Nuristan and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. A 4.2 cm, terminated, bubblegum-pink tourmaline is jauntily set on the side of a very sculptural, cluster of glassy, transparent to translucent quartz crystals. The stunner is the striking cluster of gemmy, quartz scepters at the tip of the piece. This fine piece can either be displayed horizontally or vertically. Herb valued this piece at $350, around 10 years ago. Valued today at $600-800, due to combination and rarity of quartz scepters from Nuristan.
