A superb, bicolored "egg yolk" of botryoidal fluorite, glossy and transparent, set on quartz and an underlying MM quartz matrix. Part of the yolk is a deep honey-brown and the rest a light lemon yellow, and when the botryoids are backlit they glow.

Fluorite normally crystallizes as cubes or octahedra; the rounded, grape-like botryoidal habit seen in the Deccan basalt of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh is a distinctly Indian specialty. Two-tone color zoning within a single sphere is less common still. A well-placed, attractive small cabinet specimen, collected in 2021.
