Item Description
A super nifty and uncommon combination from this famous mine. A striking "tail" of snow-white, soft to touch, xonotlite fibers is attached to the hemisphere of glassy, translucent olmiite crystals. The sharp crystals have excellent red color and luster. The olmiite is complete all-around and pristine. It looks like a sea creature! From the 2008 find.
