At least 14 Augelite crystals rest on the rusty gray host rock of this thumbnail specimen. None of these crystals exceeds 0.2" (5 mm) in any dimension, and several of them appear to be damaged. Those that are not damaged are somewhat intergrown but have good monoclinic prismatic form, with well-defined edges and clean faces that possess a bright pearly-to-vitreous luster. They have a very pale green coloration and appear to be transparent, but are so heavily internally-fractured that clarity is destroyed. A few tiny, dark siderites rest among them and are scattered elsewhere on the host rock.
