Cornetite - crystallized, with minor Malachite
stock #20.1-142
L Etoile du Congo Mine (Star of the Congo), Lubumbashi
Haut-Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
10.8 x 6.3 x 5.2 CM (cabinet)
price: $330


A sparkling vivid blue specimen from the famed "sparkle pocket" found decades ago. The piece is well-mineralized on both sides but only one side has the rich lustrous sparkles. The specimen is sawn on one side and this cut is visible from most display angles. Despite that saw mark the specimen is a very rich example of what was perhaps the best find ever for the specie.
