Description:A cool and rarely seen "bow tie"-shaped aggregate of Inesite from the classic Daye Mine in China. The doubly-terminated, prismatic crystal group has a soft pink color with great form and a minor association of ultra-rare brown Hubeite. The piece is nearly a floater, as it has a minor point of attachment on the back, but is certainly a very aesthetic and unusual form for Inesite.
