Item Description
Oyelite is an ultra rare hydrated borosilicate not identified until 1984. Snow-white radial tufts of acicular, oyelite crystals to 1.0 cm are attractively set on the two-sided crust fully covered with very sparkly, tiny, water-clear, calcite scalenohedrons. Excellent and rare combination material from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine.
