Fluorite - rare
stock #21.1-239
Mahodari, Sinnar, Nasik District
Maharashtra,
India
6.2 x 4.4 x 2.8 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $160
Early summer 2021
A small but distinct single ball of red Fluorite is nestled in a matrix of Quartz crystals. From earlier finds at Nasik, there have been a lot of ball shaped Fluorite found in recent years, but the red color is very rare, almost never seen for years. There have also been many fakes with dyes used to color the Fluorite. This is a fully natural, real example with the ball just under 1 CM across. Hard to find and when available the prices can be incredibly high. A nice example at a reasonable price, good value for any lover of Fluorite or Indian minerals.

A nice epitaxial combo specimen from the Deccan Plateau with odd but attractive esthetics. A main Calcite crystal has small spheres of Fluorite some coated by Calcite that are growing only on the crystal edges but not on any faces. Larger spheres of Fluorite and Quartz forms the matrix. In fine condition.
