Description
A very nice volume for this set of crystals of descloizite, a lead-zinc vanadate, in association with beige mamelonitic smithsonite.
The crystals are bright, translucent and of a beautiful orange-brown color.
The specimen was found at the Berg Aukas mine in Namibia in the 1970s/1980s.
This location has yielded the world’s best specimens of this mineral species.
