Item Description
A cool and rarely seen "bow tie"-shaped aggregate of Inesite from the classic Daye Mine in China. The doubly-terminated, prismatic crystal group has a soft pink color with great form and a minor association of ultra-rare brown Hubeite. The piece is essentially a floater, as it has a coating of Quartz on the back, and I can't really find a point of attachment to the pocket. It is certainly a very aesthetic and unusual form for Inesite. Priced at $800.
