Barite and Malachite
As recorded:
Shangulowe Mine, Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of Congo
48mm x 36mm x 24mm
Lustrous, gemmy, chisel-shaped crystals of Barite to 32 x 12 x 7 mm with green inclusions of Malachite. Small balls of rich-green Malachite are sprinkled on some of the Barites. These unusual Barites came out of the Shangulowe Mine in the mid 1990s to early 2000s, and quickly disappeared from the market. This is a particularly aesthetic specimen in excellent condition, collected in 2002 by the Gobin brothers. No damage.
