Item 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 red pink color with great form and is associated with additional Inesite crystals plus, metallic golden Pyrite and micro ultra-rare brown Hubeite. A very attractive and worthwhile miniature sized display specimen of this well-known material. There are only a few localities in the world the produce display-quality specimens of Inesite, and arguably some of the finest in the world are from this locality.
