Amethyst (doubly-terminated reverse scepters!)

Item Description

A great cabinet size specimen featuring excellent quality, doubly-terminated, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple color "reverse" scepter crystals and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.7 cm associated with good quality, white/colorless gem/gemmy, lustrous, 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 any mine down there. It must be noted that crystallized Calcite is exceptionally rare from Bolivia, and Bombori has certainly produced the best Calcites from Bolivia extant. This is one of the better pieces from the find for aesthetics and overall appeal. Valued at $500 for the uniqueness and quality.
