Amethyst (reverse scepters)

Item Description

This specimen is a great small cabinet size piece consisting of great quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, lavender, "reverse" scepter habit crystals and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.8 cm and sitting atop white/colorless, modified rhombohedra of Calcite on with underlain "Chlorite" on matrix. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this piece is the fact that is a unique crystallized "vug" or "tube", which is very rare for this locality. 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.
