A translucent violet fluorite ball on amethyst from Nashik. When backlit, the sphere glows a rich rose-violet, showing how clear the fluorite is. Purple fluorite balls are far less common than the usual yellow or honey colors, and the violet-on-purple pairing is unusual.
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 rare color variant in miniature size.
