Item Description

A beautiful, large curved cluster of balls of lustrous, sparkly olmiite crystals. Even under normal light, the olmiite begins to glow with its deep peach color, and the luster and gemminess are excellent. The crystals glow in bright light. A bit of bruising and periphery wear are noted, but this remains a large, showy and highly representative example of the species and locale. Even better in person!
