Description

Here is a rare amethyst scepter on its matrix. Amethyst is a scarce mineral in the Alps mountains, especially in the Mont-Blanc area. This specimen was found by the famous crystal seeker Christophe Peray. Scepters still on their original matrix are hard to find. The amethyst itself is perfect, with a pale purple color.


Locality : Les Droites, Mont Blanc, Chamonix, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
