From recent finds in the Congo, late 2020, deep green crystallized kolwezite coating malachite which has replaced cube octahedral crystal groupings of cuprite to 2.7 cm in size. The set on a matrix of really and pink botryoidal crystallized calcite. Unique and quite neat pseudomorph specimen, colorful and in great condition.
