Description

Smoky Quartz Scepter
Hallelujah Junction area, Washoe County, Nevada, USA
18.8 x 6.5 x 5.7 cm (7.40 x 2.56 x 2.24 in)

A commanding and robust example of the Sceptered Quartz for which Hallelujah Junction is so renowned. The crystal features a thick, sharply formed stem with deep smoky grey saturation that gives way to a broad, doubly terminated peak. The scepter head is lustrous and semi-translucent with a warm, smoky hue and is accented by minor skeletal faces-most notably on the reverse side-adding textural depth to this already impressive specimen. This piece is in excellent condition with one contact at the base of the stem, on the reverse side.

Ex. George R. Witters collection.
