Item Description
Very large, sculptural combination specimen featuring 1 cm spherical aggregates of tan Olmiite intermixed with tufts of pinkish-white Bultfonteinite. From the famous N'Chwaning II Mine, this is an outstanding, important piece. The Olmiite has a deep, cherry-red fluorescence. From the impressive and expansive collection of Dr. Robert J. Lauf, this is a PUBLISHED and Type Locality specimen, both of which are of particular interest to collectors. Comes with note card, signed book, and any labels. Bob paid nearly $1000 for this, some years ago.
