Inesite, 46 cm, from the Fengjiashan mine, Daye, Hubei Province, China. Nicknamed “The Shroud,” it came from a pocket found as the mine was being converted from a copper mine to a wollastonite mine in the late 1990s. This is one of only two large plates from the find, the other now being in the collection of Dr. Guanghua Liu, on display in the Wuhan Geology Museum. Formerly in the collections of Stuart Wilensky and Phil Oswalt. Beth Van Allen photo.
