Description

Pretty significant scepter quartz with pale amethyst tone. The scepter has a double tip in parallel growth on the stem. A couple of contacts on the tip and peripheral contacts, but overall in good conditions.

The specimen comes from the former collection Weber (CH) which was assembled pre-1951. It is reasonable to hypothesize that the specimen is either Hungarian (as marked) or Romanian. My take is that it looks like a Karolytaro, as it looks fairly similar to other specimens I have seen, however mine is just a guess - hence the low reserve price.
