Summary

Description
English: Quartz (Var.: Smoky Quartz)
Locality: Petersen Mountain Quartz Mines, Petersen Mountain, Washoe County, Nevada, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 9.5 x 5.4 x 4.4 cm.
A big, superb, extremely impressive specimen of sceptred smoky quartz from Nevada. Not only is it big, but the sceptering is truly dramatic, with not only the original sceptre cap, but a second, gemmy crystal that has wrapped itself around this cap! What is more, this specimen is multiply terminated on the bottom as well (the smoky, that is - not, of course, the colorless quartz crystal that the smoky originally grew around, which was attached to the pocket wall). Almost pristine, and much better in person. Collected by Ryan Bowling.
