Item Description
Spectacular and mesmerizing, glassy, highly chatoyant, reddish-brown to light golden-amber, acicular inesite crystals fully cover the starkly contrasting, underlying sugary calcite on the very sculptural layered matrix on this very fine specimen from the 1980s finds at this famous mine. Uncommon in this quality and seldom on the market today. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
