A cluster of gemmy reverse-scepter Quartz crystals from Orange River. The primary growth Quartz crystals are all white with a very fine secondary druse. All the scepters are gemmy and have a preferential Hematite coating - what certainly would have been the early stages of just incredible phantoms. The largest crystal stands 4 cm tall. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
