Item Description

A cool and rarely seen association specimen of ultra-rare brown Hubeite associated with gemmy, pinkish-red, "feather"-shaped aggregates of Inesite from the classic locality in China. The crystals are sitting on Calcite matrix. It is certainly a very aesthetic attractive display piece. From the collection of Paolo Matioli.
