SOLD
A beautiful, two-sided oval ball of very glassy and gemmy, rose-brown, elongated orthorhombic crystals of olmiite from the new, Fall 2008 find at the N'Chwaning II Mine of South Africa. The ball is attached to a small shard of matrix and is contacted at the base. This is an outstanding, gemmy example from this find and it really glows a beautiful rose-red with good light.
