Item Description

This specimen is a nice miniature size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, lavender "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 6 mm associated with white/grey, modified rhombohedra of Calcite sitting on 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. A nice piece for the quality and rarely seen crystal habit.
