Item Description
This specimen is a great miniature size piece consisting of fine quality, sharp, gemmy, highly lustrous, prismatic, purple color scepter habit and simple prismatic crystals of Amethyst measuring up to 1.4 cm associated with white/colorless, translucent, 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, and the quailty of both the Amethyst AND the Calcite crystals makes it one of the best in this size range that I've offered. This is one of the best pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
