This fine 'spiky' miniature Calcite overgrows thin blades of orange-brown Descloizite which confirms its correct provenance to Berg Aukas. The Calcite crystals are sharp narrow colourless to white, glassy rhombs clustered in small radiating sprays which makes for a distinctive display, but which is easily confused with Smithsonite, but which would be much denser. Berg Aukas operated from 1913 until 1978 and most specimens date to that period of active mining.
