Quartz (Var: Amethyst)

An aesthetic and unusual specimen from recent finds in Namaqualand, South Africa. The glassy quartz crystals at the top of this piece have intensely purple interior phantoms, just in the termination portion of the quartz crystals. These crystals give the distinct impression of being scepters, but they are not.
