Gorgeous Shangaan Smoky Amethyst Scepter, 256 grams, Chibuku Mine, Zimbabwe

This chunky Shangaan smoky amethyst scepter has a head that is so large, it eclipses the hilt of the scepter, so that the hilt is only visible from the back. That signature Shangaan grape jelly blue-purple (or "blurple") color can be seen throughout, and is especially concentrated toward the main termination of the crystals. There are veins of smoky throughout and lots of hematite flecked within. The scepter handle is small in relation to the rest of the crystal, and it has a druzy texture. There are clear contact points throughout the crystal, including toward the termination. There is also a smaller crystal that intersects this one at an angle, which makes this crystal even more interesting to behold. This Shangaan amethyst is easy to see inside, with or without backlighting, and the crystal structures are beautiful from every angle. Add this showpiece to your collection today!
