Item Description
This is a very unusual piece from a small pocket of rich red Inesite and orange Prehnite that was found in Nchwaning a number of years back. Both the red Inesite and orange Prehnite are rare. The Prehnite is actually a portion of a 1.5 cm radial ball, where the orange Prehnite needles are the surface expression. The thick red Inesites seems to rise out of the Prehnite and above the landscape. This is an aesthetic thumbnail. REMEMBER, THIS IS A NCHWANING INESITE, A NEWER CREATURE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE WESSELS MATERIAL!
