Quartz Scepter Collection
|
|
Welcome to our extensive Quartz Scepter Collection. We have been buying every scepter we could find here in Brasil for the past 2 years. Considering the many tons of quartz produced in this time, we think it is stunning that we had to struggle to get this many scepters. They are exceedingly rare, especially in top shape without dings or other defects. Our entire Quartz Scepter Collection can be seen at the Desert Gardens Gem & Mineral Show from Jan 1 thru Feb 20th 2003, row C-17/18.

We're not sure that all of you scepter purists will agree that this should be in our scepter collection, but we like it. It has a "head and a root", so we call it a scepter. Granted, it is different. This is one of our rare pieces to have a ding on the termination, but is not obvious. The smoky accented head crystals are nice and bright... something different here, priced to sell.

This scepter is highly unique. It is a bright clear white scepter with an attractive thin root stem and a very clear head with great lower head terminations. What is special is on top of the scepter, a crown of smoky quartz has grown. It looks like a white quartz scepter with a smoky hat on. A special collector piece, or it's less than 2" size allows for something in jewelry. There is a small amount of mica and feldspar remaining on the root stem.

This 4 1/2" long beauty is not a conventional scepter shape, but is uniquely interesting with strong smokey rings within a bright clear head. The bi-terminated side crystal on the head sets this piece off nicely. Priced to sell.

OK, this is not a scepter we admit. But we will have to leave it up to the metaphysical experts to tell us what this is called. We call it beautiful, unique, and a very special quartz. Still plenty dirty from the mine, priced to sell.
