Amethyst (reverse scepters)

Item Description

An attractive toenail size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple Amethyst crystals which feature the rarely seen "reverse" scepter habit on the ends of the terminations measuring up to 1.7 cm associated with grey, 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 Bolivia. This is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal. There are few of these left, so if you are a Quartz collector, get your hands on one now, as the mine has produced nothing in about 5 years.
