Description

Beautiful amethyst scepter with three bright quartz crystals at the bottom. The crystal is slightly smoky at the lower part. Two out of six surfaces on top are matt with an interesting structure. The intensely violet zoning can be seen particularly well with this specimen. Despite damage at the top this specimen is very beautiful nonetheless.
