Minerals for Sale from Washington State
OKF-213 Amethyst Scepters Denny Mountain, King Co. Washington. Ex Nancy
Collins collection. This is one of the rare finds which is written about in a
chapter of the new book, “American Mineral Treasures”. Some of these
outstanding specimens were also on display at this year's, 2008, Tucson gem and
mineral show. It is extremely rare to see any of these for-sale in fact is one
of the few I have ever seen. It came to me as part of a collection which was
built in the 1950s and 60s. This piece is an absolute killer with the primary
show been put on by three beautifully formed scepters with deep purple caps.
The stems are lustrous smoky quartz. The piece itself beautifully for display
and really draws your eye to it. The caps to the crystals have tiny skeletal
growth zones. The edges of the base of the piece at peripheral breakage from
where was removed from its host rock. This said, it is outstanding damage free
small cabinet specimen. The piece measures 5.2 cm in height is 4.2 cm wide and
3.4 cm deep. This is a rare a beautiful specimen and this is your opportunity
to add to your collection. $1600
