An unusually large specimen for the district to begin with, showing a pale amethyst sceptre sitting right there atop an unlikely perch of doubly-terminated quartz crystals. Complete all around, a floater!

This is a brilliantly lustrous, gem clean, water-clear gwindel of unusual quality. It is, sadly, not quite complete with a contact on one end and a break on the other - and yet as you can see it displays well, centered as you see here. There is no damage otherwise. The term right handed gwindel is just refering to the extra "right hand" faces on the gwindel. They are pretty rare.

Collected by Dick Jones over 30 years ago, these smoky twins remain one of the most impossible-to-obtain of all American finds, notable for the aesthetics, unqieu form and style,and sheer rarity of specimens. This is an outstanding miniature , with brilliant lustre, gemminess, and elegant chevron patterns that reflect light from many more angles than you would think - making the whole crystal more bright and noticeable. I have seen only a few of these for sale in the last decade, and none of this size which i liked so much. Hauck obtained this directly from Dick after he found it (label is here to prove it), and the piece has remained there for a LOOOONG time now!
