Description

Here is another very high quality translucent orange-amber descloizite exhibiting well developed crystals measuring up to 2.7cm in height. Aesthetically arranged on a crust like matrix that allows you 360° views in which you can study the extremely complex crystals that have developed from simple spear heads evident in the foreground of the matrix to those that consist of numerous intergrowths each dendritic crystal is comprised of numerous individuals.

Unfortunately the highly developed complex crystals hinder the translucence and only the edges appear to be colorful and gemmy. The small spear heads attached to the matrix are completely translucent.

The condition is outstanding with only one missing crystal to report on the back.
