Specimen # | 100755 | |
Mineral: | Inesite | |
Location: | N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa | |
Size: | 3.8 x 3.7 x 2.1 cm | |
Detailed Description
The aesthetic arrangement of this one is super - the three main inesite crystal fans rise out of the little forest of inesites, with the largest fan standing up at the back and dominating. Great form and the richest of the miniatures for colour. In excellent condition, no damage to the eye (you can find a small rub at the upper back of the large fan, with magnification, but it's tiny and insignificant to this piece). A top quality, beautiful inesite miniature!
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.
