Ivey Farm is well known for its ample production of amethyst scepters . Over the last 30 years many fine example of scepters has come from the diggings. Typically never small and sometimes very large . Scepters are uncommom and very rare in Georgia except for at this location. Pictured is a scepter I found April 25, 2004 . It is the typical Ivey farm scepter habit and what most people expect. It is a large clear quartz xl capped with a amethyst xl that is well centered on the stem . On occasion you'll find the amethyst to be off center , or , on the side of the stem and sometimes the cap is DOUBLE TERMINATED . I found a good many of these last week and will post pictures eventually . I do have some good examples of these for sale but they are very expensive . Sometimes when going into a scepter pocket you'll encounter one or two xls but often as not you can expect to find 10 or 20 or even more in a single pocket. The owner that is leasiing me the property tells of pulling them out one after another "all day" but as they were digging into the side of the bank , the bank finally caved in . He has showed me the approximate location of this and plans are to dig into this area and hunker down on that endless scepter pocket ! This will be an occasion of extreme interest for those people that like to dig and collect crystal s and are desirous of getting a passel of scepter specimens . Opportunties to dig with me or reserve the hole are available --please see breaking news section . |
