This is a superb inesite from the mid-1980s find at the Wessels mine. A very fine three-dimensional specimen of deep orange-red Inesite crystals. The dominant morpholgy is spherical growths of radial crystals, the clusters composed of crystals up to about .7 cm. Small crystals of Calcite and possibly Apophyllite are also present. Quite attractive. Ex. Charlie Key.
