Description

A very impressive amethyst scepter on bright quartz crystals. The intensely violet zoning can be seen well with this specimen. All faces of the amethyst are shiny with a fine structure or a lively construction which gives the crystal an earthy character. The crystals are slightly smoky at the lower part. One quartz crystal also has scepter formation. A really impressive specimen from this location!
