Olmiite with Oyelite

N’Chwaning II Mine, Kuruman, Kalahari, Northern Cape, South Africa

Miniature

4 x 3.1 x 2 cm

A stunning and unique crystal of olmiite with tiny sprays of white oyelite on the outer edges. The olmiite crystal is composed of a myriad of peachy orange crystals in composite growth, whose faces and edges reflect light at every angle. The lustre is very glassy as is typical of fine olmiite specimens.
