Item Description
An attractive matrix specimen hosting a 2-cm pink-beige colored spherical crystal cluster of the mineral formerly known as poldervaartite... but now recognized to be a new species, Olmiite. I would complain, but this is much easier to spell. In any case, they are best of species (and only ones of species), and this is from the type find of several years ago.
