Deep pink Inesite is found in the Fengjiashan Mine, Daye, Hubei Province, China. Well-crystallized and sprays were found at Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia; and small lavender-pink crystals at the Monte Nero Mine, Rocchetta di Vara, Liguria, Italy.
The Kalahari Manganese Field of South Africa, at both the Wessels Mine in Hotazel and the N'Chwaning Mines in Kuruman, have produced exceptional examples of Inesite, in the form of deep pinkish-red agglomerates of small spiky crystals. In the U.S., the premier locality for Inesite is the Hale Creek Mine, Trinity County, California.
