Description

The specimen is a unique cluster formation of three sprays of inesite crystals. The growth habit appears to be one of the long prismatic crystals in a fanned spray from a core point at the base. On this specimen the core termination are intact. The spray formation are more fan-like than they are cone-like. Viewed from above the crystal sprays express a flatness. The inesite has a cinnamon-brown colour and small specimen looks to be a floater making for interesting display options.
