Mineral: Quartz (variety scepter)
Locality: Grosseto Province, Tuscany, Italy
Dimensions: 2 cm

Description: The C axis is little developed or almost absent in the first generation of these (non-isometric!) crystals. Perhaps it would be more correct to say that the scepter is very developed compared to the stem.See also how the overgrowth on the main crystal starts from the base.
