€
This is a natural amethyst scepter crystal from Zimbabwe, offered as an authentic quartz mineral specimen for mineral collectors.
The crystal shows a well-defined scepter growth habit, where a later-generation amethyst crystal has grown over an earlier quartz or amethyst stem. This results in a characteristic enlarged crystal head, a feature highly valued by collectors for its geological significance and rarity.
The amethyst displays deep violet to purple coloration with good transparency and natural surface texture. The crystal is naturally terminated, with the scepter head clearly visible and well preserved.
This specimen is completely natural and untreated. No dyeing, irradiation, or restoration has been applied. All photographs show the exact amethyst scepter crystal you will receive.
Amethyst scepter crystals are sought after by advanced mineral collectors, as they represent complex and well-documented crystal growth processes.

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO₂), crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system. It commonly forms prismatic crystals with well-developed terminations.
Scepter crystals form when a new phase of crystal growth occurs on top of an earlier crystal, creating an enlarged crystal head. This growth habit is relatively uncommon and is considered a classic feature in mineralogy and crystal morphology.
