A big, superb, extremely impressive specimen of scepterd smoky quartz from Nevada. Not only is it big, but the sceptering is truly dramatic, with not only the original scepter cap, but a second, gemmy crystal that has wrapped itself around this cap! What is more, this specimen is multiply terminated on the bottom as well (the smoky, that is - not, of course, the colorless quartz crystal that the smoky originally grew around, which was attached to the pocket wall). Almost pristine, and much better in person. Collected by Ryan Bowling.
