A monumental smoky quartz scepter from Brazil with an extraordinary cathedral shape – several perfectly formed crystals grow in parallel, creating an imposing, architectural structure 25 cm high. The central main crystal displays intense smoky quartz coloration, ranging from the transparent base through smoky gray midsections to dark, almost black zones in the crystal's interior. Weighing 3.7 kilograms, this is a museum-worthy statement piece, captivating with its perfect geometry and dramatic color gradients. The combination of monumental size, flawless cathedral form, and intense natural coloration makes this piece a masterpiece of nature.
Mineralogical features:
Cathedral form – Natural architecture
The spectacular growth pattern displays several parallel crystals that together form a "cathedral"—a central main crystal flanked by smaller secondary crystals, resembling the columns of a Gothic cathedral. This formation arises when multiple crystals grow simultaneously on a common base, supporting one another. The perfect geometric arrangement and the sharp terminations make this form one of the most sought-after among collectors. At 25 cm in height, this scepter is one of the larger specimens.
