Item Description
This specimen is a great miniature size piece consisting of super quality, sharp, gemmy, highly lustrous, prismatic, purple color scepter, "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.5 cm associated with white/grey modified rhombohedra of Calcite with underlain "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from Bolivia. This is one of the best pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal. Valued at $400 retail.
