Item Description
Attractive set of lustrous, super-sparkly Olmiite clusters. These radial clusters are a classic habit for the species, and the largest is 2.9 cm across. Under bright light, some of the Olmiite begins to glow with its deep peach color, and you can really appreciate the near-gemminess. With strings of matrix snaking through the specimen, the aesthetics are wonderful. It looks fine either vertically (the attachment point is then on the bottom), or in the more standard horizontal position. Even better in person!
