Calcite on Descloizite

Item Description

The Berg Aukas Mine of Namibia has produced the worlds finest descloizite specimens and this is a very showy and excellent combination miniature. Oxide-tinted and sparkly normal calcite rhombs richly and preferentially cover the sculptural specimen of stacked brown descloizite blades. This aesthetic piece really displays well. Very highly representative combination example of the species and famous locality, which closed in 1978. The label dates to 1976.
