Item Description

Although small, this is one of the finest and most photogenic miniatures of this material that we have seen. It is mesmerizing in details and perfection, in person. The small inclusions are lepidocrocite, and add a metallic red brightness to the reflections of the absolutely gemmy quartz. Complete all around. This is a small specimen to some, but is one of the most gorgeous examples from Brandberg we have seen in any size class. The largest scepter is 2.4 cm tall. Complete all around.
