Olmiite

Unknown Owner
A highly lustrous saturated pink olmiite crystal sits nicely perched atop a nicely contrasting matrix of what I assume is calcite. Please note that the white crystals have not been analyzed. An aesthetically pleasing combo that really sums up why this find in the 2000s was so exciting.
