Item Description
Superb cluster of lustrous cinammon Olmiite from Nchwaning II. There are about 5 radial clusters of this rare mineral, the largest of which is 2.2 cm across. The luster is good, giving all the crystals an excellent, sparkly apearance, and the color is deep and rich. Two of the other crystals have the more 'blocky' habit, and their luster and color are equally good. An outstanding and aesthetic small cabinet specimen.
