A highly unusual locality specimen of sharp, well-formed scorodite crystals in ore. The crystals reach 9 mm. This comes from an amazing and weird location, Kivu in the DR Congo. It was brought out by dealer Richard Dale and sold to Colin Manlove in 2005. According to Wikipedia: A historical region that ceased to be in 1986. We saw reference to a similar specimen in Rock Currier's collection once, but I have not seen any for sale otherwise.
