Olmiite, Calcite

A fine, two-sided cabinet plate from the new Find at the N'Chwaning II Mine. Intergrown and isolated balls of very glassy and gemmy, rose-brown to tan, elongated orthorhombic crystals of olmiite are very nicely scattered on a super-sparkly crust of glassy calcite crystals. Some of the clusters look just like bowties and the largest cluster is 2.0 cm wide.
