Quartz (Var: Amethyst)
Unknown Owner
A bizarre, fine amethyst scepter from Brandberg, Namibia. This old-time specimen features a sharply hexagonal, opaque quartz core covered by a sharply terminated, glassy, translucent, light purple amethyst crystal. Weirdly, part of the amethyst crystal has been dissolved away. The amethyst is otherwise, pristine. Some very unusual pocket chemistry here.
