Most of this cabinet-sized pocket is lined with robust and strikingly well-formed crystals of Inesite, which reach an impressive size of 1.6 centimeters. Most of the crystals are thoroughly saturated with a deep floral pink color that stands out nicely against the exposed host rock and a few isolated veins of white Calcite. Other highly contrasting, dark grey associations (maybe Bornite) are included in Inesite crystals, primarily along the right-most edge of the specimen, and highlight a few minor crevices. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
