Astrocyanite-(Ce), Kamotoite-(Y)

Locality: Kamoto East Open cut, Kamoto, Kolwezi District, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre)

This is, to my knowledge, the best " manageable " specimen of Astrocyanite associated with yellow Kamotoite from the Type Locality.
The mineral is extremely rare in good specimens.
