Descloizite (Rob Smith Coll.)

Item Description

The famous Berg Aukas Mine of Namibia has produced the worlds finest descloizite specimens and this is an outstanding and aesthetic example. The arborescent piece consists entirely of stacked, parallel-growth, brilliant-luster, dark brown, spearpoints. The large crystals at the terminations have striking iridescence! The beautiful clusters looks like a floral arrangement. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only very trivial periphery wear. This very fine piece is a highly representative example of the species and famous locality, which closed in 1978. Showy material from the Rob Smith Collection.
