This was the best crystal out of a single pocket found in Madagascar about 2 1/2 years ago. It's over 4 1/2 inches long, and has a small head. On the front it shows a hematite phantom inside the head of the scepter. On the back it has several Anatase crystals. This is a very unusual combination from Madagascar. (would be rare from Norway as well). It's from the Steve Dowell Collection. It's in fine condition, no dings.
