Item Description

This specimen is a great toenail size piece consisting of a great quality, 2.0 cm, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, lavender, doubly-terminated "reverse" scepter crystal and a simple prism of Amethyst sitting atop white/colorless, modified rhombohedra of Calcite on with underlain "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of for this country. This is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
