A small, olive-yellow fluorite ball nestled in a neat cup of pale quartz crystals from Nashik. The sphere is translucent with faint internal patterns, and the frosty quartz rim frames it cleanly.

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 compact miniature at 55 g.
