Description

I used to collect amethyst scepters in Zillertal, which have always amazed me with their electric purple color. These inspired me to collect amethyst scepters from other localites for comparison. The scepter section on this specimen beutifully overhangs the translucent quartz stem. The coloration of the scepter is more intense on rhombohedral faces while the prism sections are colorless. Cross-hatched vicinal figures on the rhombohedral terminations indicate Brazil twinning. A nice thumbnail specimen mounted on acrylic stand for display.
