This specimen is a great miniature size piece consisting of super quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, purple color prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.6 cm (one of which is doubly-terminated) sitting atop white/colorless, modified scalenohedra of Calcite on forest-green "Chlorite" on matrix. This piece is unusual for Bolivia as it is from an "Alpine-type" locality (non-ore body). This is one of the best pieces from the find for quality, aesthetics and overall appeal. Ex. Brian Kosnar.
