Amethyst (reverse scepters) 
Back to CONSIGMENT and COLLECTION AUCTIONS - Ends July 22nd
Bombori District, Potosi Department, Bolivia
- Starting Time:7/15/2010 06:45:00 PM(CDT)
- Ending Time:7/22/2010 06:45:00 PM(CDT)
Time Left:Auction Is Closed
- Size:Toenail
- Size Description:3.5 x 2.4 x 2.1 cm
Description:An attractive toenail size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple Amethyst crystals which feature the rarely seen "reverse" scepter habit on the ends of the terminations measuring up to 1.7 cm associated with grey, modified scalenohedra of Calcite on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from Bolivia. This is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal. There are few of these left, so if you are a Quartz collector, get your hands on one now, as the mine has produced nothing in about 5 years.
