Item Description
A very fine, solid plate of deep orange-red Inesite crystals. The dominant morphology is spherical clusters of radial crystals, with these crystals ranging up to about 4-5 mm within the clusters. You can see this development nicely in both cross-section and up close. There are hundreds upon hundreds of mm-size crystals of Calcite and possibly Apophyllite that complement the Inesite beautifully. A good, representative specimen from this famous locality, valued $750-950.
