Amethyst (doubly-terminated reverse scepters) with Calcite* (*Calcite is rare from Bolivia)

Item Description

This specimen is a great toenail size piece consisting of a predominant, DOUBLY-TERMINATED, great quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple "reverse" scepter crystal Amethyst sitting atop white/colorless, modified rhombohedra of Calcite on matrix. The largest Amethyst crystal measures 2.6 cm. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia both from the standpoint of the Amethyst and the associated Calcite, as Calcite is virtually unheard of from any locality in this country, and Bombori has certainly produced the best Calcites from Bolivia extant. This is one of the better "reverse" scepter pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
