Description

This scepter is from a new find, done in 2013. The aesthetice is nothing short of spectacular, with an amethyst head on a quartz body and with one elongated quartz to protrude from the side. Especially the head is of fantastic quality – clear, lustrous and with very nice coloring. The quartz has a broken area at one side, but if you can live with that, this is an outstanding specimen.
