Carrollite with Chalcopyrite on Calcite
Kamoya South II mine in the Katanga Copper Crescent, Dem. Rep. of Congo, has produced the world's finest crystals of Carrollite, a rare copper cobalt sulphide. Nowhere else has produced anything remotely comparable, they are simply leagues ahead. This fine cabinet-sized specimen of Calcite features several mirror-bright silver, octahedral Carrollite crystals reaching 1.2 cm on edge. There is damage to further Carrollite crystals around the edge of the specimen, but those within the main cavity are excellent, with just one tiny nick to the edge of one of the crystals. The inclusion-rich translucent Calcite crystals provide added interest. Minor Chalcopyrite microcrystals are sparsely scattered upon the surface of the Calcite. A nice rich crystallized Carrollite from the all-time great occurrence.
