Description

Alpine type scepters from Greece have become the new classics of the country. They are highly desirable by knowledgable collectors, mostly because of their rarity. They got even more attention from collectors, after they were published in Lapis, last year. This is a well-sized example for the locality with quartz or barely pale amethystine scepters on an elongated smoky quartz stem. The piece was discovered in the early 00s.
