Item Description

An excellent, large single ball of lustous, sparkly olmiite on a bit of matrix. This interesting sphere has a ridge or crest of olmiite crystals down the front. Even under normal light, the olmiite begins to glow with its deep peach (almost cinnamon) color. It is translucent and really glows when backlit. A fine miniature, with only two minor spots of periphery wear. Aesthetic and choice. From finds around 2000-2002. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
