Item Description

Superb combination piece bringing together two highly sought-after species from the mines of the famous Kalahari Manganese fields. The gemmy, highly lustrous 1.3 cm Olmiite is in the rarer box-like habit, with hints of a bowtie shape. The luster is mirror-like, and the peach color very attractive. With the Olmiite are at least four excellent Bultfonteinite crystal sprays. These sharp sprays range up to about .6 cm across, and the habit and dusty rose color are gorgeous.
