ex. Charlie Key
This is a brilliant, lovely quartz with amethyst and smoky phantoms that just "dance" when lit well. It will be hard to beat this specimen for quality and luster in this price range.

A rare habit from the Gobobos, a "shard" style tabular, thin crystal with bizarre form. Complete all around save contact on bottom. This piece has a smoky tip on top and just a hint of amethyst on the bottom
ex. Charlie Key
This specimen is a very nice cluster of 3-dimensional, fat amethyst crystals. What makes this one so unusual is the dark amethyst runs right up the center of each crystal. A very attractive specimen! It is a floater save for the smallest attachment point at the bottom tip.

A magnificent example of scepter growth from the Brandberg mountains. This would be a $3500 specimen if it didn’t have jsut that darned small chip on one of the side faces of the termination to the right as shown. It is not visible from the viewing side , so the crystal is truly impressive for the price, if you can live with a ding on the far side. Visually, this is incredible...you seldom see such intense purple amethyst from here, let alone as a sceptre!

This wonderful deeply colored amethyst crystal is doubly-terminated with two distinct types of terminations: one sharply prismatic atop; and the other an extended and elongated multiply stepped temrination on bottom. A great addition to any quartz collection aside from the gorgeous white-purple-white color zoning!.

Here we have a sharp, equant, GLASSY, doubly-terminated quartz crystal with a wonderful aurora of smoky and amethyst color within. Note the phantoms pointing in different directions! The piece is a complete floater save for one hole in the back side where it attached to a now-missing secondary crystal. It is really stunning! The small red streaks seem to be slightly included hematite.

A stuningly glassy quartz crystal with a wash of amethyst inside. Doubly-terminated and truly so lustrous you cannot belive its not polished (which it is NOT!)
ex. Charlie Key
Wow! A superb light amethystine-colored scepter on a clear quartz crystal. This a competive show piece wiht real sex appeal, and just leaps out in person. VERy 3-dimensional, and note the unusual attached matrix at bottom, so it is complete!.
ex. Charlie Key
This is one of my favorite larger crystal specimens here. It has light amethyst on the bottom and a perfect demarcation about halfway up to a zone which is, in startling contrast, a briliantly glassy and lustrous smoky color. It also has a wonderful moving water bubble near the top for added bonus. What i find really neat is that you have this sharp demarcation of COLOR without a GROWTH demarcation?! This is bizarre...you expect and see generally from this location a sceptre or change in growth when the color of the crystal changes. Or a phantom at the leat. But this bicolored beauty is, as i said, bizarre in that there isn't the slightest growth demarcation or surface change - the crystal just kept on , schizophrenically, growing.

An off-center scepter with a smoky/amethyst head...most unusual and very "cute" !
