Description

Clear quartz crystal as a long drawn scepter in the best quality. The scepter has grown with three dominant prismatic surfaces. The high-gloss surfaces show a little windowing and innclusions of yellow-brown clay. Really impressive! The crystal is grown on small matrix - really difficult to photograph this piece!
