Amethyst (scepters and reverse scepters)

Item Description

This specimen is a great miniature size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, light purple color scepter, "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.6 cm associated with white/colorless, modified rhombohedra of Calcite with minor underlain green "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from Bolivia. For the size, this is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal. Valued at $500 retail.
