Fluorite (unusual material) on Quartz

Item Description

Typically one is not accustomed to seeing Fluorite from a basalt flow like the Deccan Trappe in India. I have seen several different color of Fluorite from around this area including yellow, gold, red, pink and rarely lavender. The Fluorite on this specimen has a yellow or gold hue and despite the fact that it is not truly crystallized (it's essentially spherical and/or amorphous), it's very gemmy and eye-catching when backlit. The Fluorite is sitting on gemmy colorless Quartz crystals, some of which show very minor Amethyst and Smoky Quartz zones. Finally, the base/matrix for the piece is a bit of blue-grey Agate. Even though these Fluorites are fairly rare and unusual, this one stood out to me when I first saw it. It is contacted on the sides, but still a cool reference specimen of a common species that is RARELY found in this kind of environment.
