Its lower body carries a delicate lavender-pink tone with dense, fine reddish-brown mineral speckling distributed through and across the crystal. Moving upward, the color gradually gives way to a misty transitional zone before reaching the much clearer upper crystal.The enlarged upper termination creates the specimen’s distinctive crown-like appearance. It is considerably clearer than the lower body, with broad, smooth crystal faces and strong vitreous reflections. From different viewing angles, light passes through the upper section and reveals internal veils, subtle fissure structures, and variations between transparent and clouded zones.One of the most distinctive structural features is the relationship between the upper and lower crystal growth. The enlarged upper section produces a natural scepter-like silhouette, while overlapping quartz growth along the transition creates visible overgrowth junctions and layered crystal architecture.Along the sides are skeletal and windowed growth features. Recessed areas interrupt the otherwise solid crystal faces, forming natural skeletal windows together with stepped edges. Some areas show triangular, terrace-like growth patterns where successive crystal growth appears in overlapping layers.The surface also preserves evidence of natural dissolution and later growth. Small dissolution pits, fine etched textures, irregular recessed areas, and stepped growth features occur across different faces, contrasting strongly with the smoother and more reflective upper termination.A soft internal mist runs through portions of the crystal, creating a visible transition between the lavender-toned lower section and the clearer crown. The combination of color zoning, transparency changes, skeletal windows, quartz overgrowth, and scepter-like growth gives the specimen a complex multi-stage appearance.Key Features• Soft lavender-pink lower crystal body
