Inesite and apophyllite are uncommon enough species from the famous mines at Broken Hill. This fine, two-sided, combination piece features radiating sprays of highly lustrous and chatoyant, acicular, brown inesite crystals with glassy, translucent, colorless apophyllite crystals. The apophyllite crystals reach 1.5 cm and the inesite needles reach 2.4 cm, which is large for the species and locality. Ex. George Elling Collection.
