An attractive display of arrow-like Descloizite crystals in parallel growth from the Berg Aukas mine in Namibia. Berg Aukas is the world capital of Descloizite, a basic lead and zinc vanadate, and the stacked black spears form organic-like structures of vertical fronds. Please note the termination on one vertical crystal group is cleaved-off, revealing its milk chocolate-brown interior. A lovely example of Descloizite on an earthy cream-tangerine vanadinite-rich matrix.
