Well-known as the world's premier source of crystallized Descloizite specimens, the famous mine at Berg Aukas in Grootfontein District closed over a generation ago in the 1970s. Such was the richness of the deposit we still see many specimens today as older collections are recycled, but this superb cabinet-sized display specimen presents a very different style of Descloizite crystal. Forming flat-lying, tapering, stacked dark brown to black platy crystals, between 0.5 and 1.5 cm in length, these aggregates lie upon more traditional, sharp, bladed Descloizite crystals, cola orange-brown in colour. A fascinating and unusual Descloizite.
