Description

A good specimen of the meanwhile famous spherical fluorite from India: a yellowish translucent ball settles on quartz crystals which are the cover of a part of a geode in basalt. Some calcite present as well as a smaller bright yellow aggregate of fluorite.

The colour varies with changing lighting conditions.

Daylight bulbs give a bright yellow colour, being less intensive under artificial light. A very nice miniature.
