Item Description
An exquisite olmiite miniature of a 1.5 cm ball set on blocky matrix and surrounded by glassy calcite crystals. The sparkly translucent-gemmy bladed ball is attractive for the species and has beautiful color and luster. One of the very best miniatures we have offered at auction. The overall aesthetics of olmiite quality, accessory gemmy calcite and blocky matrix make for an exceptional piece.
