Description

Beautiful and well-sized for the locality amethyst from the alpine type fissures of Kato Nevrokopi. The piece has fine color, lustrous and transparency for the locality and has the typical for the locality and quite unusual in general, onion-like structure. The top termination is undamaged. The bottom ends in three terminations, one of which is broken. The piece seems to be a scepter with a very thin smoky stem that was broken off naturally as is usual for scepters with so thin stems from the locality.
