Description

A very impressive group of amethyst scepters on bright quartz crystals. The intensely violet zoning can be seen well with this specimen. All faces of the amethysts are shiny with a fine structure. The crystals are slightly smoky at the lower part. The quartz crystals also have scepter formations. There is one small chip on one top of the amethysts which doesn't really distract from the beauty.
