Item Description

Large pair of spheres of Olmiite, on matrix, from the famous Nchwaning II Mine in South Africa. These spheres consist of hundreds of overlapping .4 cm crystals, whose crystal edges show very nicely along the surface of the sphere. These opaque crystals are flesh-colored, and have superb luster. An excellent example of this Olmiite habit.
