SOLD
This is a set of 2 fine Brandberg quartz specimens. The most interesting is the dramatically sceptered crystal, with a beta-style "cap" atop a typical prismatic stalk. The stalk is amethystine, and the cap has blushes of both purple and smoky inside. There is a ding on the back side of the termination, but you do not see it from the preferred display side. The other crystal is a "classic" Brandberg quartz, with chevrons of purple and smoky in its gemmy interior. This crystal contains a complete, sharp, doubly-terminated little quartz crystal, which you can clearly see as it is highly reflective!
