Olmiite & Calcite (2016 find)

Item Description

A very sculptural small cabinet olmiite combination plate from the 2016 aptly named Chocolate Pocket find at this famous mine. Two distinctively sized olmiite "balls" (3.0 and 1.5 cm) are aesthetically isolated on the rolling matrix plate covered with tiny scintillating calcite crystals. The balls are composed of densely intergrown, lustrous, translucent, orthorhombic crystals with rich light brown color. They light up, when back lit. Complete all-around and nealy pristine. A bit bruising to the back of the large ball is out-of-sight in the several fine primary display views. An outstanding, fascinating and colorful small cabinet combination from the New Find.
