Amethyst scepter on Quartz (Unique for locale)

Item Description

A UNIQUE and STRIKING amethyst scepter specimen from the famous Sahatany Pegmatite Field of Madagascar. This dramatic CABINET piece has a fabulous, sceptered cluster of glassy amethyst crystals perched atop a sharp, frosty, pseudohexagonal quartz crystal. The additional cluster of amethyst crystals draped on one side and the base is a gorgeous accent. This complete all-around beauty is essentially PRISTINE, with only some periphery contacting around the base. I have NEVER seen anything like this from this locale. Comes with a custom-made base valued at $150. Fairly valued at $1100-1250. I bought this from Don Olson, who had found it with a lapidary dealer, sometime around 1998-2000.
