Hello! I recently purchased a claim in northern Colorado and I found this late in the season. Most of the stuff I find is hematoid (ferruginous) quartz crystals, and this is no different, but this thing is so unique and special I can't find any similar examples online. From what I read, it's not a true "scepter" because the plains of the second generation crystal don't align with the planes of the first generation crystal. So what is it then?! It's double-terminates on an angle and obviously awesome, but how rare is something like this?

Does anyone have any thoughts, comments, estimates of value, etc??

FYI I've been calling it the Lombardi, because it looks like the Super Bowl Trophy

Reminds me of an art project I did in high-school. Neat piece you have.
