Amethyst (reverse scepters)

Item Description

An attractive small miniature 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 1.6 cm associated with white, satiny, 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 this country. This is one of the better pieces in this size 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 several years.
