Descloizite with Dolomite

A gorgeous small miniature of serrated arrow habit Descloizite crystals from the famous Berg Aukas mine in Grootfontein, Namibia. The Descloizite crystals measure to about 1 cm and form stacked pagoda-like columns splayed slightly outwards to form a beautifully crystallised open cluster. From one side these crystals are metallic black with a dazzling lustre whereas the opposite sides are encrusted with a preferential coating of salmon pink micro-crystals of Dolomite. The specimen is mounted on a square colourless acrylic base.
