Sceptre Quartz

Doubly terminated Scepter Quartz crystals (smoky and amethyst variety), clear and with inclusions. The piece measures ± 6.5 x 4 cm.

*Scepter quartz are crystals in which a second generation crystal point grew on top of another quartz crystal. In a typical scepter quartz, the younger point is larger than the first point, but can also be smaller (so it is sometimes called a "reverse scepter"). To be a scepter quartz, the second generation quartz crystal must grow parallel to the underlying crystal.
