Malachite from Mindingi Mine, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo

Dimensions: 7.5 x 3 x 5.3cm Location: Mindingi Mine, Kambove, Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo A perfect 4.2cm long cobalt-bearing calcite crystal paired with a crystallized malachite sphere. The combination is very aesthetically pleasing. The color is subtle, but the contrast and brilliance of the crystal create a beautiful ensemble. This type of pairing from the Congo, once highly sought after, has become very rare on the market. Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen. The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
