Item Description

Lustrous pair of crystals of deep orange-pink Olmiite from Nchwaning II, the largest of which is 1.8 cm across. These sparkly translucent-gemmy crystals are very attractive for the species with such good luster and color, and they sit on matrix. The contacting on the back does not affect the presentation side at all. Very good aesthetics - beautiful and well-balanced.
