Descloizite (Dr. B. Phillips Coll.)

Item Description

Classic, sharp, highly lustrous, rich brown to translucent gold-brown descloizite spearpoint blades are dramatically festooned on the mounded strikingly hollow sculptural crust. A fascinating 360-degree specimen in great shape, with few broken blades, for all of the crystal density. Berg Aukas supplied the world's finest examples of the species. A very showy, rich and fine small cabinet from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
