This specimen is a fine miniature size piece consisting of fine quality, sharp, gemmy, highly lustrous, prismatic, light purple color scepter, "reverse" scepter and simple prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.1 cm sitting atop white/colorless, modified rhombohedra of Calcite on matrix. This piece is remarkable for Bolivia as it is from an "Alpine-type" locality, and features a type of crystallization that is virtually unheard of from Bolivia.
