Description

Handling this berg aukas collection gave me much needed insight into the a mineral that I rarely came across before, and thankfully I am now able to tell a good one and a rare one from what is ordinary, this is certainly the most beautiful descloizite from berg aukas- exhibiting outstanding silvery metallic luster on surface without additional lighting and when illuminated bursts to life revealing the otherwise hidden amber color behind the black surface.

Sharp spear head form is evident in even the smallest micro crystals on the white dolomite matrix, developing into extremely beautiful large beveled terminations.

The condition is outstanding with minor imperfections acceptable wear for such high quality crystallization.
