A fine cluster of two balls of very glassy and gemmy, rose-brown to tan, elongated orthorhombic crystals of olmiite from the new, Fall 2008 find at the N'Chwaning II Mine of South Africa. The balls are aesthetically set on a cluster of very glassy, colorless calcite scalenohedrons. This is a superb example from this find and it really glows a beautiful rose-red with good light.
