Item Description

Stunning, large single ball of lustous, sparkly Olmiite. This 2.1 cm sphere is one of the gemmiest and most attractive specimens of the species I have seen. Even under normal light, the Olmiite begins to glow with its deep peach (almost cinnamon) color. Sitting on a bed of super-gemmy Calcite crystals, which enhance the specimen even more, the Olmiitie is complemented beautifully. This is a killer miniature. valued $750
