Carrollite with Pyrite on Calcite$1,800.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
This stunning large miniature specimen features a remarkable, mirror-bright, silvery Carrollite crystal positioned perfectly for display in the centre of an open cavity in Calcite with associated Pyrite. The Carrollite crystal is worldclass, a superbly formed truncated octahedron, 1.8 cm across, with a 'baby' crystal protruding from one face. There is a crack visible in the main crystal, but it does not appear to be structural, or related to decay, because the crystal is so bright and fresh looking. It is from the Kambove District, in the Katanga Copper Crescent, DR Congo. It is generally accepted that all good Carrollite crystals from Kambove came from Kamoya South II mine. Formerly in the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
