Description:A stunning, mounded ball of intergrown, lustrous, sparkly olmiite blades from the 2008 find is aesthetically crowned by glassy, lightly etched calcite rhombs and a nifty bit of layered, tan matrix. The olmiite glows with its deep peach (almost cinnamon) color and displays beautifully from either side. This is an excellent, colorful and aesthetic combination of the species. It goes well with the prehnite specimen below, as a complement in form and contrast in color.
