Description: A light smoky quartz crystal with only the vaguest touch of amethyst colouring, several thin hematite threads and lovely patterns on most of its termination and shaft facets. The crystal is a sceptre, with its stem short, and having grown at an angle of about 45º. Bits of (?)manganite and feldspar are attached.
Right at the bottom is a crystal (?)calcite / quartz that has grown inwards, with a brownish coating (two bottom images).
On one of the shaft ridges is what appears to be the remains of a small crystal that has broken off (white spot left side of image, bottom left). Right alongside that is a small quartz crystal, partially embedded, with a small nick to its bottom.
The narrow female termination tip has a few minute nicks.
