This specimen is a great small cabinet size piece consisting of super quality, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, prismatic, light purple color "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.3 cm sitting atop white/colorless, modified scalenohedra of Calcite on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it is from an "Alpine-type" locality (non-ore body), and features a type of crystallization that is rarely seen from Bolivia.
