Inesite on Baryte

Item Description

Some of the finest crystallized examples of Inesite are though from the N'Chwaning Mines in South Africa. The richness of the samples, combined with the fine color and form of the crystals makes them very desirable. This piece features a full coverage of attractive soft pinkish-orange crystal "sprays" of Inesite, with individual crystals measuring up to 8 mm, which are sitting on highly lustrous, gemmy, blocky, slightly smoky colored crystals of Baryte underneath. No major damage that I can find, and the piece sits beautifully on its own without the aid of a base or clay. Very attractive and fine quality. Classic material, seldom available on the market in much quantity these days. From the worldwide mineral collection of geologist, Demetrius Pohl (#558).
