Item Description

Lustrous set of three blocky crystals of deep orange-pink Olmiite from Nchwaning II, the largest of which is 1.3 cm long. These sparkly translucent-gemmy crystals are very attractive for the species with such good luster and color, and they sit on a matrix of water-clear Calcite crystals. Very good aesthetics - beautiful and well-balanced.
