Item Description
A beautiful, diverging spray of lustrous, translucent, variable pretty rose-red, acicular inesite crystals looks like a flower on this very fine two-sided miniature specimen from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine. Both sides have an amazing chatoyant shimmer, when rotated in bright light! 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.
