Inesite (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

An attractive miniature specimen of sharp, prismatic, pink Inesite crystals to 6 mm sitting on matrix from the Hale Creek Mine in California. For sharp, euhedral crystals, these Inesites are unmatched crystallographically by the spiky elongated crystals coming from China and South Africa. Showy and good quality, not just for the locality, but for the species. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#6440). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Velt" November-December 2017).
