Description

Two generations of quartz come together in this specimen, which must have been a close attempt to become a scepter. The stem is an elongated, pale crystal, while the tip is a smoky, stepped individual which developes as double terminated. Some traces of iron oxides, which I left untouched to preserve the geological signature.

Good lustre and local transparency, with minimal peripheral contacts.

From the former collection Kasper (CH), this is dated back to the 70s or earlier.
