Description:Berg Aukus is one of the most famous localities in the world for species like Smithsonite and Descloizite, but there are also some interesting Willemites from this desposit as well. I have seen several habits and colors of Willemite from this great locality, and this piece is no exception. It features a dozens of sharp, light brozne-golden color, acicular crystal "sprays" of Willemite on matrix. The quality is excellent, and good Willemites from Berg Aukus are among the most desirable for the locality.
