Scepter Quartz Crystal Specimen

Product Overview This specimen is a singular, large-scale example of Scepter Quartz, a rare and highly prized crystal habit. A scepter formation occurs when a second-generation crystal head grows over the termination of a primary crystal stem. This particular piece showcases a well-proportioned, oversized "cap" that is perfectly centered on a defined prismatic column, creating a dramatic and architectural silhouette that is a hallmark of advanced crystalline growth.

Origin & Formation Scepter Quartz is the result of a multi-stage mineralization process within hydrothermal veins. A change in the chemical composition, pressure, or temperature of the silica-rich fluids within the host rock causes a secondary growth phase to occur on existing crystals. This specimen represents a rare moment in geological time where the environment favored the development of a distinct, larger termination over the original point, resulting in this unique scepter morphology.

Specifications

• Mineral: Natural Scepter Quartz

• Habit: Single Scepter Formation

• Length: Approximately 7 inches

• Transparency: Translucent to Transparent

• Luster: Vitreous

• Weight: half lb

Key Features

• Substantial Proportions: At 7 inches in length, this is an unusually large example of a single scepter, making it a premier display piece for a professional collection.

• Defined Morphology: Features a clear distinction between the primary stem and the secondary cap, showcasing the classic "scepter" shape with exceptional symmetry.

• Natural Luster: The crystal faces exhibit a naturally high polish and sharp edges, reflecting light to highlight the internal clarity and structural layers of the quartz.

Important Notes Due to the concentrated weight of the scepter head on the narrower crystal stem, this specimen is structurally delicate and should be handled with extreme care. It is recommended for display in a secure, stable environment. As a natural geological specimen, it contains unique internal characteristics and growth patterns that verify its authenticity.
