PIECE DESCRIPTION: This scepter is in its natural form - no treatment with heat, dyes, or irradiation. It has not been cut or polished. It is totally natural as it came out of the Earth.

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Shangaan amethyst is known for its potent vibrational properties associated with spiritual growth, enhanced intuition, and spiritual connection. This powerful stone is associated and used with the crown chakra and has a calming effect on the mind and body.

HISTORY:  An amethyst quartz scepter - a formation that is completely unique and different from most other types of quartz (rose, citrine, clear, etc.) because they have what's called a 'double termination' meaning it formed terminations (points) on both ends of the crystal naturally. This highly unique formation has been found in only a handful of places in the world. 

This piece is known as a Shangaan Amethyst Scepter ~ new find within the last 5 years, amethyst scepters like this are not common and typically break during the mining process. This specimen comes from the Chibuku mine in Zimbabwe, which is a country in Africa that borders Mozambique. 

First discovered by the Shangaan tribe (where this specimen gets its name), it has also been found in the Goboboseb region of Namibia. Sometimes you'll also find these named Goboboseb amethyst scepters.
