caption_attribution_description: English: Descloizite Locality: Berg Aukas (Berg Aukus), Grootfontein District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: miniature, 3.6 x 3.1 x .9 cm Descloizite A superb miniature with excellent spear-point bladed crystals of Descloizite from what is unarguably the best locality for the species in the world. This specimen of sharp gemmy crystals, grown en echelon, has excellent lustre and some very showy color at the terminations! It is, in my opinion, just a tremendous specimen for a species which is usually dismissed as dull and earthy. Anything but, it is one of the best Descloizites I have ever seen (and with one of the larger xls of species for height). Ex. Gene Meieran collection to me, to Marty in the late 1990s. Deutsch: Descloizit Fundort: Berg Aukas (Berg Aukus), Distrikt Grootfontein, Otjozondjupa, Namibia (Fundort bei mindat.org) Größe: 3.6 x 3.1 x .9 cm
