Detailed Description

This is an amazing specimen of inesite, one of the top two from the find. with intersecting radiating fans of crystals that are a very good size for the species - the larger fan is 3.6 cm in length (!). The inesite crystals are sharp and sparkly,  and the overall radiating form of the fans is impressive. In excellent condition, there are a couple of rubs on the left, but they are minor relative to the size and significance of this specimen.  A gorgeous, unique inesite.


About These Inesites

In 2014 a very small pocket at the N’Chwaning II Mine produced some exquisite small specimens of inesite, very sharp and intricate, and in superb condition. I was lucky to have the first chance at these and selected out only a few specimens, the ones I judged to be the best. They are much more dramatic than many inesites - they are not just drusy, they have well-defined crystal groups.
