Olmiite with Calcite (Ref: AX-14-260)
N Chwaning Mine, Kalahari Fields, Kuruman, Kuruman, South Africa
90mm x 68mm x 60mm
minID: QX8-DKD
A large and esthetic 3-D cluster of Olmiite in "wet look" aggregates with a pinkish color. Far better that the average, this is an even more special specimen due to the well placed clear clusters of Calcites in parallel growth. The Calcite is in doubly terminated prisms that look very much like Quartz and have similar glassy luster. Olmiite was unknown as a mineral until 2006, it is only found at this one location worldwide. This piece displays well, is undamaged and presents from several angles. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
