location:
Wessels Mine, Hotazel, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
description:
Wonderful attractive combination piece showing sprays of glistening colorless transparent natrolite crystals set on matrix with red sprays of inesite crystals to 2.0 cm. Minor apophyllite and oyelite present as well. There is some damage to the natrolite, to be expected on something this fragile. Still I think in very good condition, the piece sits perfectly by itself for display. This is from material collected in the very early 1990s. Measures 8.0 x 7.5 x 6.0 cm. Shipping weight: 1.1 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
