Item Description

A very fine two-piece deal of sculptural and aesthetic sceptered quartz crystals from the Orange River and from the collection of noted Namibia collector Heini Soltau. Both pieces are highlighted by doubly terminated scepters. The pristine glassy larger scepter has a transparent termination, translucent body, subtle hints of smoky color in the interior and double basal terminations. The prominent hexagonal stalk is all there. The smaller very glassy scepter is an artistic compound crystal, is mostly water-clear and has striking scattered accents of smoky color on some crystal edges. A small side car crystal at the base is a super accessory. One edge of the scepter is contacted, but there is no damage, per se. Every turn of these 360-degree beauties presents a different perspective to their exemplary architecture. Classic and outstanding Orange River sceptered quartz specimens.
