Item Description

A beautiful cluster of balls of lustrous, sparkly olmiite blades. Even under normal light, the olmiite begins to glow with its deep peach color, and the luster and gemminess are excellent. The crystals glow in bright light. Nearly pristine, a trivial bit of periphery wear is noted. An excellent example of the species and locale. From the October, 2008 find. Even better in person!
