Item Description
Attractive spherical cluster of classic light cinnamon Olmiite crystals. This is one of three habits for this relatively rare mineral, and the crystal faces that extend above the surface of the sphere are about 2 mm in size, and highly lustrous. Along the base, between the sphere and the matrix are actually a few blocky, and VERY gemmy, crystals of Olmiite. Overall, a very good specimen for the species. Nice color and good form.
