Fluorite on Quartz

Item Description

Two striking "egg yoke" botryoids of dark lemony-tan color fluorite rest on an "egg white" matrix of gray quartz points. The largest hemisphere of fluorite measures 3.6 cm across and 1.7 cm high. The luster is muted but the fluorite is translucent and the color is outstanding, especially when backlit. There is no doubt in my mind that this habit is best seen in Indian fluorites, and botryoidal fluorite in general is quite rare in nature. These are some of the most unique fluorites from anywhere in the world and this is a REALLY GOOD one. Valued at $750-900.
