How often do you ever find 15 cm Amethyst-lined Chalcedony vugs from India, let alone one with a stunning 2-inch (5-cm) hemispherical Fluorite sitting smack in the middle of it? Almost never, I would say. This Fluorite has two generations of quartz growth on it; one is a very fine druse that gives the crystal orb a very distinctive sparkle, and the other is a flat white growth that creates an appearance of clouds from space creeping over the globe of fluorite. Very NEAT EFFECT in PERSON! It coulda been ugly, I admit, and its on the borderline of "weird," but erred on the side of "cute" and not on the side of being too covered with the secondary quartz to call ugly. In person, it sparkles like SUGAR. This is truly an incredible specimen, the likes of which I have not seen before from India
