Item Description
This is a distinctively different, two-sided rib totally covered with descloizite from an uncommon Namibian locale. Absolutely scintillating, sharp, partially gemmy, rich dark honey-brown (they look black), descloizite crystals cover the front of the sculptural crust. The sharp, much smaller crystals on the back are lustrous, but nearly all have a brown coating on them. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Namibian specialist. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
