This scepter has a longer than usual stem for this locality. The black material overgrowing the termination of the stem is specular hematite, typical for this locality. A small "sidecar" quartz crystal grows at the junction of the stem and scepter. The scepter is clear and reveals the termination of the stem. See my co-authored article on these sceptres in Rocks&Minerals . https://click.email.taylorandfrancis.com/?qs=a3d1a938a1365affeb8c3a60c2a50dd23b67bd12ff202ea72589e64ad7a88aa2c8acc07bb054be0b3048a830e00cc32b57e0d67dfbfdec39 Personally collected July 2017 Donated to the Canadian Museum of Nature
