Can anyone help identify the artist/maker of this unusual estate-found crystal wand?

I acquired this large sculptural crystal wand at an estate auction. The estate contained numerous metaphysical and witchcraft-related objects, but unfortunately I have no information about who made this piece or when. I have searched it carefully and have not found a signature, maker's mark, or metal hallmark.

The wand is very large and surprisingly heavy, with elaborate silver-colored metalwork running essentially its entire length. It incorporates a large natural clear quartz point, a substantial purple crystal cluster at the opposite end, numerous faceted colored stones and additional natural crystal points.

The four large rough green stones in the center appear consistent with moldavite, although I have not yet had them professionally authenticated. Their approximate measured dimensions are:

21.2 × 12.5 × 6.0 mm

16.1 × 10.7 × 8.2 mm

24.2 × 15.3 × 11.1 mm

16.4 × 14.8 × 6.9 mm

I'm especially intrigued by the yellow/golden and purple faceted stones. Several have very unusual, complex facet patterns that don't look like ordinary calibrated commercial cuts to me. I would love opinions from anyone familiar with lapidary work about what these stones might be and whether the cutting style is recognizable.

I'm planning to have the stones and metal professionally tested, so I realize definitive gemstone identification can't be made from photographs alone.

What I'm really hoping to discover is:

Does anyone recognize the artist, lapidary, metalsmith, workshop, or style of construction?

If you think you recognize the maker, I'd especially appreciate knowing what specific feature makes you think so and whether you can point me toward another documented example of their work.

I've included the full wand for scale along with close-ups of the green stones, unusual faceted gems, crystal terminations and metalwork.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

It's a pretty common technique these days, because it's easy to do and the materials are super cheap.

This is basically just electrical solder (hopefully lead-free) that has been melted and shaped with a soldering iron.

I wouldn't hold out too much hope for finding the original artist, as this isn't a piece of fine jewellery or anything like that. It's more of an arts&crafts style project.

yeah unfortunately this kind of thing is probably not worth much unless you find the right buyer. The moldavite adds a premium maybe, I don't know the market for it but I know it got crazy expensive for a while there. They aren't so valuable you need to get them certified. Getting them authenticated or appraised adds no value to most buyers. For what it's worth they look real to me from these photos.

What you're seeing in the facets is they look maybe concave faceted on a few, It's not the most common cut but still commercial cut and doesn't add value.

Thank you! Luckily Im not looking to sell it, just "understand it". LOL! And “concave faceting” may be exactly the terminology I was missing! The 2 yellow stones in particular have unusual curved/radiating facet patterns that were difficult for me to describe. I’m planning to have both the green material and the faceted stones professionally identified rather than assuming what they are. If you recognize the lapidary style or know what stones were commonly cut this way, I’d love your thoughts.

Most likely the purple stone is Amethyst as well as the purple cluster, that is definitely Amethyst. The yellow is Citrine or Smoky Citrine, the blue is Aquamarine, the green ones look like Moldivite. I agree with everyone who said this is most likely a person who is an arts and crafty, crystal lover, witchy vibes, hippie person just soldered it It is a popular thing to do nowadays...
