Description

We have seen a few number of those coming out lately but none with such quality, aesthetics and character. The piece is very similar to my epic GreekRocks logo piece and I was surprised when I saw it in a local collectors' showcase a few years ago, I had to buy it and I did. It is obviously a beautiful scepter of gem amethyst on smoky quartz. The amethyst is large, with great clarity and fine luster and color. One side shows a classic quartz shape but the other side of the amethyst shows the unique lamellar structure that is found in the alpine type fissures of this locality. The condition is excellent, as seen with the smoky being broken-off matrix naturally due to icy conditons in the area over thousands of years.
