Sharp Peach Olmiite Crystal
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
A sharp Olmiite crystal perched delicately atop a natural pedestal of Calcite and Oyelite-covered matrix. This is a very elegant specimen, a perfect thumbnail. This was one of the best of its size class, as picked by the collector, as well. It is a sharp specimen with amazing geometry to it and the crystal atop really is freestanding. This is from a small pocket collected by Paul Balayer with permission in the mines, in late 2009.
