Bultfonteinite w/ Olmiite

Item Description

An incredibly rich, dramatic and sculptural large combination specimen from the small, Fall, 2004 find. This find literally redefines what you can ask for for the rare species bultfonteinite, which usually occurs as a botryoidal aggregate (and then often covered by orlymanite) from the locality. THIS FIND, however, presents a significantly new habit for the species in the form of individual, acicular crystals to 7 or 8 mm in size. The white, acicular crystals, usually in sprays, liberally cover the front, one edge and much of the back of this large and attractive matrix plate, which is also rich with small brown olmiite crystals. The piece is significant for both quality and size.
