Item Description
Excellent, large single ball of lustous, sparkly Olmiite. This 2.3 cm sphere, is one of the gemmiest and most attractive specimens of the species I have seen. Even under normal light, the Olmiite begins to glow with its deep peach (almost cinnamon) color. It is translucent. Sitting on a thin plate of matrix, this is a killer miniature. The contacting in the back has no bearing whatsoever in the presentation of this fine piece. Aesthetic and choice. From finds around 2000-2002
