Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of cuprian descloizite!!! This specimen consists of a striking pair of complex prismatic cuprian descloizite crystals
intersecting at a ninety-degree angle!!! The crystals are aesthetically perched on a matrix that is accented by dolomite crystals!!! This specimen
retains its original Pohl label!!!
Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a
prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back and
forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for worldwide
specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping with most
of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info on locale,
source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However, the most
interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the specimen on
the reverse side as well!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
