Item Description
A sparkling plate of Olmiite, formerly known as Poldervaartite. It is flashy, and colorful - worthy of some value on its own merit aside from the fact that it is a significant rarity of a new species. ex. Charlie Key Collection, which I purchased a few years ago now. The habit is blocky to rounded, the luster superb. These cinnamon-orange crystals are gemmy, with the largest being 1.4 cm in length. An aesthetic, quality specimen.
