A strongly botryoidal ball of fluorite perched on rich purple amethyst, all on a chalcedony and basalt matrix. The fluorite is creamy white on its surface and deepens to a golden tone toward the center, a soft gradient that shows best with light behind it.
Spherical fluorite is uncommon from any locality, since fluorite normally grows as cubes or octahedra, and finding it seated on such well-colored amethyst adds to the appeal. The photos may suggest some damage, but in hand the piece presents better than the images show. A pleasing small cabinet combination from the Aurangabad district, collected in 2021.
