The Amethyst locality at Bombori was recently producing specimens about six or seven years ago, but it seems as though the locality has "dried up" and these attractive and eye-catching display pieces are not coming out of ground at the moment. The specimens from this locality show a variety of different crystal habits. All 12 of the specimens in this lot feature Amethyst on Calcite (some of which have underlain "Chlorite"). Some of the more unique pieces in this lot are those crystals with the rarely seen "reverse scepter" habit.
