A honey-yellow fluorite ball set in a geode of frosty white quartz crystals from Nashik, presented on a clear stand. The smooth sphere sits neatly in the center of the cavity, framed by blocky quartz points.

Fluorite usually forms cubes or octahedra, so rounded, botryoidal balls are an unusual habit, and one the Deccan Traps basalts of Nashik have become known for.

A well-colored small-cabinet specimen.
