Item Description

A beautiful, large curved cluster of lustous, sparkly olmiite crystals. This is one of the gemmiest and most attractive specimens of the species we have offered at auction. 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. Sitting on a small amount of matrix, the aesthetics are wonderful. Even better in person! Valued $500-700.
