The specimen is a botryoidal formation of strawberry-brown olmiite. The crystal formation are the outcome of smaller tetragonal prismatic crystals growing together in slightly radial spreads. The radial pattern can be understood viewing the underside of the specimen. The olmiite colour colour is attractive with the hint of strawberry and the crystal surfaces are sparkling lustrous. There is a contact point on the underside and on one side.
