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.

In 1854, the French chemist Augustin Alexis Damour christened it **descloizite** in honour of his colleague Alfred Des Cloizeaux (1817–1897)[1]. Des Cloizeaux was Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Paris, and the first to describe the new mineral. Damour, a chemist, gave it its name. The honoree and the namer are two different people — a small but persistent confusion in popular write-ups.\n\nThe first specimens came from the Sierra de Córdoba in Argentina[2]. They came from the oxidised upper levels of a base-metal vein — the weathered cap where surface water has broken down the original sulfides. That setting turned out to be the rule. Descloizite is a secondary mineral of the oxidised zones of lead and zinc deposits[3]. It forms there in the company of pyromorphite, vanadinite, wulfenite, mottramite, mimetite and cerussite — all minerals born from the slow chemical undoing of buried ores.\n\n### A vanadium ore in southern Africa\n\nIn the early to mid-20th century, descloizite earned its one chapter as a working ore mineral. The Otavi Mountainland in northern Namibia was once considered home to the greatest vanadium deposits in the world. Its major mines were Berg Aukas, Abenab, Baltika and Uitsab. At each, descloizite and its copper analogue mottramite were the two main ore minerals on site[4]. Those mines have since closed.","claude-opus-4-7","1.0.0",{"markdown":764,"model_version":761,"prompt_version":762,"reviewed_at":11},"Descloizite has no significant modern industrial use. It is, very rarely, mined as an ore of vanadium[1] — a curiosity status rather than a primary supply role.\n\nThe species is sought mainly by collectors and museums. Its deep cherry-red, brown or black crusts and small prismatic crystals make it a recognisable specimen from the oxidised zones of base-metal deposits[2]."]
