Item Description
This specimen is a great miniature size piece consisting of super quality, sharp, gemmy, highly lustrous, prismatic, purple color scepter crystals of Amethyst measuring up to 2.0 cm sitting atop and associated with white/colorless, modified scalenohedra of Calcite on underlain pale green "Chlorite" 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 best pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
