Amethyst Scepter on Smoky Quartz
Pohndorf mine, Boulder Batholith, Jefferson Co., Montana, USA
Miniature, 5.7 x 2.9 x 2.6 cm
Ex. Richard Hauck
SOLD
This old mine, which hit its heyday in the 1960s I am told, produced some superb amethysts that are today scarce in collections and on the market. This is a classic style, with intense gemmy amethyst atop a gem smoky quartz point. It is unusual however, in the complexity fo the amethyst clustered atop like a castle on a mountain! It is a beautiful display piece, complete all around!
