Item Description

This specimen is a great small minaiture size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, semi lustrous, prismatic, light purple color scepter, "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 2.0 cm associated with white/colorless, 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. This is one of the better smaller pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal.
