Amethyst (slight scepters)

Item Description

This specimen is a good small cabinet size piece consisting of good quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple prisms of Amethyst showing slight scepter habits and measuring up to 2.1 cm which are associated with modified, white/colorless rhombohedra of Calcite with minor underlain greenish "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of for this country. This is one of the better pieces from the find for quality, and it's worth picking up.
