crystal quartz scepter cluster

Scepter Quartz Crystalline Cluster

Product Overview This distinctive specimen features a Quartz cluster highlighted by prominent scepter growth formations. A scepter crystal occurs when a second-generation crystal grows over the tip of a primary crystal point, often resulting in a larger, cap-like termination. This rare habit provides a striking architectural silhouette, showcasing the multiple stages of mineralization and the intricate growth history of the specimen.

Origin & Formation Scepter Quartz typically forms in hydrothermal environments where a change in mineral-rich fluid chemistry or temperature triggers a secondary growth phase on existing quartz points. This specimen represents a complex geological process, where the initial crystal structure served as a foundation for subsequent crystalline development. Such formations are highly sought after by collectors for their unique morphology and structural rarity.

Specifications * Mineral: Natural Scepter Quartz

• Habit: Crystalline Cluster / Scepter Growth

• Dimensions: Approximately 5" in length

• Transparency: Translucent to Transparent

• Luster: Vitreous

• Weight: 2.5 lb

Key Features * Rare Scepter Morphology: Features well-defined "cap" terminations that distinguish it from standard quartz clusters.

• Structural Complexity: A multidimensional piece with various points and secondary growth layers, providing visual interest from all angles.

• High-Quality Luster: The crystal faces are naturally reflective and clear, highlighting the internal geometry and termination points.

Important Notes Scepter formations are often delicate due to the narrow "neck" that connects the secondary growth to the primary crystal. This specimen should be handled with care and displayed in a secure environment. As a natural geological item, it contains unique internal characteristics and minor surface variations inherent to its formation.
