Inesite (2014 find)

Item Description

An outstanding and rich specimen of clusters of lustrous, translucent, variable pretty rose-red, acicular inesite crystals covering matrix on this very fine specimen from the N'Chwaning II Mine. Remember, these are quite different from commonly seen Wessels Mine material and are much more uncommon. This is from a new find of several flats of material which came out last fall in 2014. The spectacular 2.0 cm cock's-comb-like cluster is the coup de grace and the piece is pristine. This very aesthetic piece displays beautifully without aid. Valued at $500-700.
