Item Description
This highly unusual specimen is a rare red Inesite (not Wessels, mind you) on even more rare Orange Prehnite from the small NChwaning find a few years back. Inesite wasn't common in this find, certainly not in richly covered specimens like this. It also happens to be a very attractive and aesthetic thumbnail, not just a locality piece. REMEMBER THIS IS A NCHWANING INESITE, A NEWER CREATURE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE WESSELS MATERIAL!
