A delicate golden-yellow sphere of botryoidal fluorite on a matrix of slightly smoky quartz crystals. Backlit, the fluorite ball is gemmy, and it is in excellent condition, with only a small rough patch on the back where the piece was removed from the pocket wall.

The quartz here is notable in its own right: many Indian botryoidal fluorites sit on cryptocrystalline quartz such as chalcedony, whereas this one rests on well-formed, euhedral crystals. That gives the miniature more sparkle and a cleaner, more crystalline base. Collected near Nashik in 2021.
