Description

This is a bizarre piece,for quartz,alpine minerals,Greek and miniature collectors!The point has a thin reverse scepter that is flat on the termination!Those Alpine type quartz crystals are rare anyway,since the area is totally covered by soil and pinetree needles,so difficult to find!The crystallization is called onion style and it's special for the area.The piece has a smoky prism that is broken off on the back.It's the only one of the style I know of.
