{"product_id":"amethyst-point-l-from-bolivia","title":"Bolivian Amethyst Point — Large Anahi Mine Crystal, 3.25 lb","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Anahi Mine in the Santa Cruz department of Bolivia is one of the few amethyst localities collectors name out loud. It is the source of ametrine — the bicolor amethyst-citrine that occurs almost nowhere else — and its amethyst carries the same reputation for saturated, deeply zoned purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the large points: around 5.5 inches by 3 by 5, and roughly 3.25 pounds each. Three individual pieces are offered and you choose one at checkout.
