Carrollite : Cu(Co,Ni)2S4
	Kamoya prospect, Kamoya, Kambove, Central area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) 5.2 x 3.2 x 2.9 cm. A single sharp, seemingly cubic crystal of brilliant platinum-metallic carrollite shines out from calcite here…but cubic? Approximately 7mm in size. No, it is, rather, twinned. This is a great rarity from now-famous finds which seem to be over, here.
