An unusual small-cabinet specimen: a botryoidal ball of fluorite perched on deeply colored purple amethyst, over chalcedony and host rock, from Aurangabad. The fluorite is creamy white at the surface and shades to a golden tone toward the center.
Fluorite usually forms cubes or octahedra. Here it has grown as a rounded, grape-like aggregate, a habit we rarely see from any locality in our experience, and finding it on amethyst this richly purple is more unusual still.
The surface can look damaged in photographs, but the piece presents better in hand. It is a distinctive combination for collectors of Indian fluorite or unusual mineral habits.
