A quartz crystal set in an antelope horn. Overall length about 6-1/2 inches. Fill for the join is 1/50 inch diameter black glass microspheres. The crystal has a very unusual natural shape (to my eye it has an illusory spiraling look when seen in 3-D, though it is all flat planes at the standard quartz angles).
A wand is a type of intention tool, and so (sometimes) is a crystal (with or without a handle). Is this a wand, or a crystal with a handle?
Well, This horn and crystal seemed to really belong together. I did do another, though, with a smaller horn and a small, cloudy white crystal. It was part of a set of two, the other part being a pale antler tine with a small, clear, dark crystal. I don't have a picture of that set, though.
Was this a commission, a sale piece, or just a personal one? It's /terribly/ satisfying. And you're right about the crystal, it does look like it twists.
