An aesthetic and beautiful CABINET plate of lustrous, translucent, light honey to tan, fluorite spheroids to 1.4 cm on nicely contrasting blue-gray chalcedony from the ONE-TIME find a few years ago at the Mahodari Quarry in India. This piece has been beautifully prepared with the largest fluorite centrally located on the matrix. The rolling topography of the chalcedony really adds character. This is a very rich example - rarely do you see so many balls clustered together. Botryoidal fluorite is known from only a few locations in the world, this one having produced the best yet seen. 10.5 x 9.0 x 4.7 cm
