Olivenite
A stunning olivenite specimen - not the words you normally expect to see in the same sentence, I admit. But this piece features an olivenite crystal so thick and so robust, it looks like another species entirely. It has sick, wet luster and shine to its surface, and is actually slightly curved, thus very elegant. In PERSON, this is more dramatically 3-dimensional. It is, simply, a WORLD CLASS example of the species and stands out dramatically from almost any other I have seen. A larger, miniature sized version of this rare euhedral habit sold recently for nearly $50,000. This is the same quality, but in a full thumbnail size; and not just "small" but elegant and well proportioned with matrix, as well. A true competition-level beast of a thumbnail, ex Desmond Sacco Thumbnail Collection
