Item Description
This specimen is a great small cabinet size piece consisting of great quality, beautiful, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple color "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 2.0 cm associated with white/colorless, translucent, modified scalenohedra of Calcite with minor underlain "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from this country, not to mention the fact that Calcite is actually INRCREDIBLY RARE from Bolivia as well! This is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal. Valued at $400.
