RM3278   Bultfonteinite and Olmiite-poldervaartite

Excellent specimen formed by numerous colorless acicular crystals of bultfonteinite, a rare hydrated calcium fluorosilicate, which is accompanied by beige prismatic crystals of olmiite, a hydroxysilicate of calcium and manganese. The specimen is very representative of these species. This is the type locality for olmiite. We include pooldervaartite because it is very common since it forms a series with olmiite.

Size: 7.2 x 5.7 x 4.9 cm.
