Superb sharp lustrous grouping of octahedral carrollite crystals without matrix. In very good condition and excellent for the species.The Kamoya South II Mine in Haut-Katanga, DR Congo, commenced open-pit operations in 1998 and remains active today. Geologically, the deposit is situated within the Central African Copperbelt and is hosted in the Neoproterozoic Katanga Supergroup, featuring heavily faulted and folded sedimentary rock structures that produce high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. The locality is internationally famous among mineral collectors for producing world-class specimens of carrollite, which is a metallic, thiospinel mineral composed of copper, cobalt, and nickel sulfides that forms brilliant, mirror-bright octahedral crystals often perched on white calcite matrices.

Carrollite from Kamoya South II Mine, DR Congo
Kamoya South II is the modern benchmark locality for carrollite. Its best specimens have the look that made the species famous among contemporary sulfide collectors: brilliant silver to steel-gray crystals, often mirror-faced, with crisp spinel-family geometry set into pale calcite or dolomitic carbonate. The visual effect is unusually clean for a sulfide—hard, metallic geometry against light matrix—and the finest examples have enough reflectivity that the faces flash like cut metal when turned under a lamp.
