Shangaan Amethyst Scepter with Twin- Smoky Amethyst Cluster from Zimbabwe

This Shangaan amethyst cluster features a scepter with a twin point growing out of the older crystal point. As shown in the last photo, it is a little more opaque due to some hematite growth on the back of the crystal, so light doesn't show through it as much as the others. This particular type of amethyst comes from the Chibuku mine and is named after the place it comes from – the Shangaan tribal area in Zimbabwe, Africa. The Shangaan amethyst is dug up by the locals. Here there are a number of specific rules set by the chief to protect the nature in which they are found. For example, 5 trees have to be planted for every tree that is cut down and every hole that is dug has to be filled again. ABOUT AMETHYST: Relieves stress and anxiety, initiates wisdom and greater understanding. Amethyst assists in understanding and connecting to the eternal existence of the soul and initiates one’s own deep soul experiences. ABOUT SHANGAAN AMETHYST SCEPTERS: Scepters occur when a new quartz crystal forms over and caps a previously formed prismatic crystal.
