Item Description
A showy, extremely rich, CABINET specimen festooned with clusters of super sparkly and gemmy, tan, elongated orthorhombic crystals of olmiite from the Fall 2008 find at the famous Nchwaning II Mine of South Africa. This is an excellent, large example from this find and it really glows a beautiful tan with good light. Olmiite was formerly known as poldervaartite, prior to recent extensive testing.
