Descloizite (rare locale) Rob Smith Coll.

Item Description

Specimens of any species are extremely rare from this very uncommon Namibian locale. This is a distinctively different, two-sided rib totally covered with descloizite. Absolutely scintillating, sharp, partially gemmy, rich dark honey-brown (they look black), descloizite crystals cover the front of the sculptural crust. The sharp crystals on the back are lustrous, but nearly all have a brown coating on them. Large crystals on the edges are half gemmy and half opaque brown. VERY interesting and rare material from this locale. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Namibian specialist.
