SOLD
An excellent cluster of intergrown balls and an interesting, fan-like spray of very glassy and gemmy, rose-brown to tan, elongated orthorhombic crystals of olmiite from the new Fall 2008 find at the N'Chwaning II Mine of South Africa. The crystals rest on a hidden crust of white matrix. This is an excellent example from this find and it really glows a beautiful rose-red with good light.
