Item Description

Lustrous, very aesthetic double-cluster of the rare Mn silicate Olmiite. Each ball of Olmiite is about 1.7 cm across, and the translucence accentuates the pinkish-tan color. The crystal faces really sparkle with the luster being so high. Definitely one of the nicer Olmiite thumbnails I have seen.
