The Brushy Mountain, aka Mule Creek, quartz crystal area is located on the Arizona-New Mexico border in Grant County, New Mexico. The quartz crystals formed in cavities in a rhyolite rock. Most of the crystals are small (1-8 cm on average), and rather heavily included, but they are typically a light amethystine color and display unusual crystal shapes. Many of the crystals are scepters with skeletal habit. The above specimen is a light amethystine scepter with vessicular inclusions; quite typical of this quartz crystal locale. The crystal surface is unblemished. The scepter tip actually has three separate points; that is not a chip on the top. Don't ask me how a crystal grows this way. Nature can do marvelous things.
