Description:This specimen is a great toe size piece featuring excellent quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple color scepter crystals of Amethyst measuring up to 1.0 cm sitting atop grey modified rhombohedra of Calcite with underland "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from this county. This is one of the nicer pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
