This magnificent cluster of quartz started out as glassy and gemmy, colorless mostly sceptered, crystals. Hematite inclusions have given the whole plate a lovely orangy-brown color with slight undertones of amethyst. Rising majestically above the rest, like a space shuttle before launching, is a 6.0 cm in length sceptered crystal. Mesmerizing!
