Item Description
The famous Berg Aukas Mine of Namibia has produced the worlds finest descloizite specimens and this is an excellent, sturdy plate. This piece consists of radiating clusters of matte-gray decloizite spearpoints. The clusters look like floral arrangements and the specimen is nearly pristine, having only a few broken crystals. This fine piece is a highly representative example of the species and famous locality, which closed in 1978. Showy material from the Rob Smith Collection.
