SOLD
A huge, beautiful, sparkling plate of the new species olmiitte. These were formerly identified as poldervaartite, a mineral now known to occur only at the Wessels Mine. Large specimens were uncommon when these first came out 3-4 years ago, and this is one Charlie had apparently just salted away. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
