Hi Walker!
Could you be more specific when writing just 'Pakistan' as a locality? There are a lot of mineral deposits in that country.
Thank you for posting your pictures at FMF.

The usual association is with schorl, from the tourmaline group. It can be schorl.

Hi, Tang
Nice pieces!
My congratulations!
But, by the way, those amethyst scepters (your first piece), when I bought one many years ago (around 12...), were sold to me as coming from Madagascar...
Are also found in Pakistan?
Just extremely curious
With best wishes

Hi, Tang
Please, take a look at this page in Mindat
There are several amethysts scepters that share same form than yours, and are from Madagascar (exactly, Antsakoanimanta deposit, Mangatabohangy Commune (Mangatobangy), Ambatofinandrahana District, Amoron'i Mania Region, Fianarantsoa Province, Madagascar... Somehow long.....)
https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?cform_is_valid=1&min=198&cf_pager_page=85
That are certainly shared by some from the locality you said
https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?cform_is_valid=1&min=198&cf_pager_page=119
Then my question
The scepters from Madagascar were sold around world very well.
The ones from Pakistan I have never heard before.
In minerals, well, it was used by Lapis to present each mont one or several fakes
Missatributed localities are not that odd
May I ask listizens if the locality of Pakistan is known to produce those scepters?
Just for curiosity (I have a pargasite that at present I do not know if it is a pargasite, a fluorocannilloite, if it is from China, Pakistan of Afghanistan...and seems that no one knows, because all I have seen attributed to green specks on white marble, that look identical to my eyes,,,,)
With best wishes

well,first of all, i can sure that it is not fake or purposive to missatribute as you guess. i would not like to prove that because not necessary.
secondly, i have been here in Pakistan about 10years, all my collections are from peshawar, purchased by myself. i am not much care about location,
but i can share with you some kind of amethyst from Pakistan, you can estimate by yourself.
thanks
