Inesite from China is mostly in the form of larger crystals. This piece, however, is from a pocket found around 2005 (if I recall rightly), of another style entirely. It is the largest single example of this habit I have had, in good condition. It is a robust, giant specimen for the species with more inesite than I have ever seen on any one piece, in terms of mass. It is a deep, rich, glowing red color when backlit.Joe Budd Photos
