Item Description
Excellent, very sculptural and attractive olmiite on matrix from the 2008 find. The showy piece looks like a large cannon with a long barrel, resting on the ground. This aesthetic, two-sided piece is composed of clusters of sparkly, tan, olmiite blades. The striking piece displays very well from both sides without aid and is pristine. A very fine piece, for this olmiite varietal.
