The reverse scepter quartz crystal, like this one, is far rarer in nature and much more dramatic. In this case, a gemmy and glassy, colorless stem gives way to a gemmy and glassy, smoky termination. As is the case in all reverse scepters, the termination is much smaller in diameter than the stem. As an added bonus, there is an immovable bubble in the termination. Dramatic and rare!
