Description

One of the best thumbnails I have seen from this scarce and sought after material! Those scepters come from one of four Greek Alpine type localities and the only one that produces Amethyst. Out of world Alpine type localities, this is one of the best in Amethyst, in terms of quality! This piece has top clarity, top color, not easy for a small piece, and top luster on prism and termination! A small smokey "neck" makes it a scepter! The back shows the classic patterns that make those so easily recognizable and different!There is a ding, but it's not a detraction!
