Item Description
An impressive large sphere of olmiite, jauntily perched on olmiite and aesthetically flanked by two small olmiite balls, from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine in South Africa. This sphere consists of hundreds of lustrous, overlapping rhombs, whose crystal edges show very nicely along the surface of the sphere. These opaque crystals are beige-colored, and have excellent luster. A very fine example of this olmiite habit and color. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
