Amethyst (sceptre)

"Capurru" quarry, Osilo - 9.5x6x4.5 cm

 

 

What a fantastic sceptre of Amethyst from Sardinia! Vertically placed on a rather large plate (basically of chalcedony), this sparkling and perfect crystal of 2 cm contains many inner streaks and exhibits a wonderful color! Under the sun, it simply lights on as a bulb! Very sharp edges and incredible shape. This cabinet also includes another relevant amethyst crystal, but the main one really monopolizes the attention. I obtained this cabinet from my friend Beniamino Pasta, just at the Capurru quarry in 2009. A sceptre worthy of a king!
