Awesome crystal Scott.  I think the crystal was never actually broken, but went through periods of interrupted growth, which caused the "rehealing" you referred to.  If you examine it under the loupe, I think you will find multiple tiny "steps" of crystal faces rather than conchoidal fracturing.  Had the crystal actually been shattered in the pocket, any regrowth on that broken crystal would reflect the "post breakage" positioning of the crystal, such that the new growth would not be epitaxial on the old growth.  In other words, the new scepter growth would not be parallel and in line with the old growth, it would be oriented at a different angle to the original crystal.  (That's my theory and I'm sticking to it).  I have found this same phenomenon on many specimens, but few show it so well as this one.  Excellent purchase!

Killer crystal Scott!

I love odd quartz crystal morphology. Excellent aquisition to add to collection.

yeah, glad that made it into your pocket and found your camera lens. I've got a handful of things i gotta bring by sometime soon for you to photo, including one of those scepters i picked up, perfect double term. rutile imbedded in a double term scepter.
nice photos as always,
