 | "An EXCEPTIONALLY FINE and AESTHETIC specimen of lustrous, pink Inesite crystals to 1.4 cm filling a vug in matrix from the famous Hale Creek Mine in California. This very fine piece has several display possibilities. Ex Charlie Freed Collection. Probably the best Inesite from the Freed Collection,which had a number of them. For sharp , euhedral crystals, these inesites are unmatched crystallographically by the spiky elongated crystals coming from China and South Africa, I would say. Inesite is not a common mineral in rock shops and in mineral displays. However it can form attractive pink or rose colored specimens that are sought after by mineral collectors. The commonly seen prismatic crystals have a slanted or "chisel-shaped" termination. At first glance the shorter crystals may be mistaken for rhombohedrons which have six equally slanted faces. Inesite will show only one steeply slanted face, while the other faces have a much less inclined slant. " Location: Hale Creek Mine, Trinity Co., California
