A large, smooth yellow fluorite ball resting on a plate of sparkling lavender amethyst druse from Nashik, presented on a clear stand. The golden sphere dominates the piece, and the soft purple crystals beneath it make a vivid, complementary pairing.

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. Finding one this large on amethyst adds a second, strongly colored mineral.
