Olmiite
description: <p style="text-align: justify;">LOCALITY: Chwanning III Mine, near Kuruman, Northern Cape Province, South Africa  <br /><br />3 1/4" across <br /><br />This piece is much better than the average olmeite specimen since: <br /><br />(a) It is a group of hemispheres rather than just one hemisphere. <br /><br />(b) The specimen is considerably larger than the average specimen of olmiite. <br /><br />(c) The luster is very high. <br /><br />The photo was taken in daylight. If backlit by a torch, the color changes to a vibrant and bright orange red.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This piece was bought from Dr Ronnie McKenzie during a visit to his home in Pretoria, South Africa in late 2009.  </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Photo by Matthew Webb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia   </p>
