Item Description

Striking clusters of lustrous, translucent, pretty rose-red, acicular inesite crystals fill a very sculptural vug on this excellent large display specimen from the famous 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 interior is essentially pristine and only a small bit of noted periphery wear is a modest detraction to this impressive and fine large piece. valued $1000-1250
