A large, glowing, translucent crystal of amethyst from old finds in North Carolina. This big crystal has really interesting and unusual skeletal growth that you can see through its translucent faces, and particularly around the termination. At the bottom, you can see that the whole thing is actually a scepter, the cap having wrapped itself around an original crystal. Most of this bottom crystal is complete is well, with healed faces and subterminations on the bottom. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
