It's a highly attractive scepter specimen that features several elongated crystals fanning out from a small piece of matrix. The condition is exceptional with only small abrasions on those glassy and lustrous sceptres! The piece is repaired as one crystal went off as a whole, but that is not visible from the front.
This fine piece is certainly a jewel from this famous find at the Sandkopf near Heiligenblut.
