Amethyst (scepters and reverse scepters)

Item Description

This specimen is a great small cabinet size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple color scepter and "reverse" scepter habit crystals of Amethyst measuring up to 1.3 cm associated with white/colorless, modified rhombohedra 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 fact that such a common species like Calcite is virtually unheard of from Bolivia. This is one of the better pieces in this size range for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal that I've offered recently.
