Cabinet, 11.2 x 5.6 x 5.0 cm
SOLD
A unique and striking amethyst scepter specimen from the Sahatany Pegmatite Field of Madagascar. This fine cabinet piece has a fabulous, sceptered cluster of glassy amethyst crystals perched atop a sharp, frosty quartz crystal. The additional cluster of amethyst crystals draped on one side and the base is a gorgeous accent. This complete all-around beauty is essentially pristine. I have never seen anything like this from this locale. Ex. Don Olson Collection, who had found it with a lapidary dealer, sometime around 1998-2000.
