Brandberg Amethyst Scepter Smoky Skeletal Mounted Miniature Mineral Specimen (Brandberg, Namibia)

*This is a miniature specimen--please examine scale photos and consider dimensions carefully!*

This little beauty is a unique example of Brandberg amethyst, from Namibia! It is a natural scepter crystal point, displaying soft smoky tones with just a kiss of purple on the “stem” of the scepter. The termination of the crystal is characterized by skeletal, fenster “windows” and etching. This aesthetic little crystal is mounted on a clear display base, and features beautiful formation, exceptional interior landscape, and a lovely pale smoke to purple shade. (As an unpolished piece, it has minor abrasions and inclusions, which do not lessen its beauty.) Brandberg amethyst is one of the most highly prized amethyst varieties in the world, and comes from the widely renowned Erongo region of Namibia.
