A bright and sparkling specimen with unusually lustrous clusters of tan and off-white-colored olmiite, spaced out in discrete balls upon a calcite matrix. The colors make for a stark contrast to one another, and the tan balls are incredibly lustrous. Illustrated in the "Connoisseurs Choice" article on Olmiite, in the March-April issue of ROCKS & MINERALS magazine. Joe Budd Photos, shot in halogen light... they are more red-colored in standard room fluorescent lighting.
