🔬Scepter Quartz Crystal with Two-phase Gas /Anatase Crystal Inclusions 🌍:Betafo, Madagascar ___________________________________ Scepter quartzes are crystals in which a second generation crystal tip grew on top of another quartz crystal. In a typical scepter quartz, the younger tip is larger than the first tip, but it may also be smaller To be a scepter quartz, the second generation quartz crystal must grow parallel to the underlying crystal. In the "classical" kind of scepter quartz, as shown, the scepter and the first generation quartz crystal often differ markedly in their habits, surface structure, luster and color: Almost all scepters only show the basic crystallographic forms (rhombohedra and prism), and no accessorial faces, regardless of the forms and habits of the underlying crystal. The typical striation of the prism faces is often missing on the scepter, while being present on the underlying crystal. -Also Two Phase:Gas and Anatase inclusions are present!! #SickPiece #ScepterQuartz #Excellent #Healing #Crystal #sdboonecollection #gemologist #boonescapes #llc #gemology #crystals #crystallography #superb #collection
