Item Description

This specimen is a great small cabinet / large miniature size piece consisting of several great quality, sharp, gemmy, semi lustrous, prismatic, lavender prisms of Amethyst - featuring a few slightly sceptered crystals and one predominant & rarely seen doubly-terminated crystal - sitting atop white/colorless, modified rhombohedra of Calcite on matrix. The largest Amethyst crystal measures 2.3 cm. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of for this country. This is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
