Item Description

An elegant cluster of complex, robust and stylish Olmiite crystals with great color. There are four crystals that comprise this cluster with the largest measuring a whopping 3.5cm in length! The stout crystals have saturated salmon pink color and exhibit an almost divergent appearance in one crystallographic orientation and all display shallow, wedge-shaped terminations. The aesthetics of this piece are quite different from most other Olmiite specimens. It has great luster, and is very reflective from the myriads of small faces on the surface of the crystals. A beautiful miniature.
