Item Description

A pristine, very fine and aesthetic thumbnail olmiite "ball" from a brand NEW FIND from the aptly named Chocolate Pocket. The "ball" consists of lustrous, translucent, densely intergrown orthorhombic crystals with rich burnt-orange color, that really light up, when the crystals are backlit. Olmiite specimens from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine are a classic and desirable species. An outstanding, fascinating and colorful thumbnail from the New Find.
