Inesite on Calcite
Wessels Mine
Kalahari Manganese Fields, South Africa
2.71 cm x 2.84 cm x 2.0 cm
Here is an aesthetic specimen from this famed locale. This material came out in the 1970's.
This specimen features beautiful translucent to transparent bladed crystal sprays of Inesite, which shifts in color from a salmon to reddish orange.
These bladed crystals form fan like sprays throughout this specimen. They sit on a bed of colorless to gray calcite crystals.
A very beautiful specimen of this hard to find mineral.
