Amethyst (scepters) with Calcite* (*Calcite is rare from Bolivia)

Item Description

This specimen is a good quality small cabinet size piece consisting of sharp, prismatic, rather lustrous, purple color scepter habit and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.5 cm associated with modofied rhombohedra of Calcite with underlaind "Chlorite" on matrix. Please note that Calcite is a rather rare species from Bolivia, and the Calcite crystals from Bombori are the best examples of Bolivian Calcite crystals that we've seen. The Amethyst crystals on the piece are remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from this country. For the luster of the Amethyst crystals, this is a very attractive specimen of this now hard to find material.
