A shockingly unique copper specimen of considerable elegance, with two dramatic spinel-twinned crystals rising from matrix of calcite and copper. I have never seen such a specimen froman African locality, and the closest have been from Onganja in Namibias...for Zaire, I think this is a very special piece, indeed. It is complete and 3-dimensional all around. 5 x 2.9 x 2.8 cm
