Item Description

A showy specimen featuring a gemmy Quartz crystal richly filled with clay or mica inclusions to create a beautiful two tone effect. This sharp and well-formed Quartz crystal is is actually very gemmy inside. It's not damage free, but the termination is complete, and has a strange pseudo-scepter appearance. There was obivously another Quartz crystal growing across the top of this piece that either fell off in the pocket while it grew, or during the mining process. This is classic material from an old East Coast collection, probably dating back around 40-50 years.
