A very sweet miniature specimen of the rare species Inesite named after the Greek for "flesh fibres"!. The relatively recent finds at Wessels Mine, Hotazel, Kalahari Mn. Field, South Africa far surpass anything known previously. This off matrix specimen consists of several intergrown sprays of orange-pink acicular to bladed Inesite crystals. There is no damage to the sharp crystals which display wonderfully. A very fine example of a rare species from the premier locality.
