AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cobaltoan Calcite with Malachite – Mupine Mine, Lualaba, DR Congo
Vibrant cluster of vivid pink Cobaltoan Calcite crystals beautifully accented with rich green Malachite. The sparkling calcite forms botryoidal and crystalline surfaces, creating a stunning contrast of color and texture. This eye-catching piece comes from the Mupine Mine in the Lualaba province of the Democratic Republic of Congo – a region known for its exceptional cobalt and copper mineralization. The Mupine Mine, part of the famous Katanga Copper Crescent, has produced some of the finest Cobaltoan Calcite specimens on the market, often with striking malachite associations. A colorful and aesthetic specimen from a classic African locality.
This specimen comes from a reputable source and has not been altered or treated in any way—what you see is its natural form. The photos are taken under daylight-equivalent LED lighting to show the specimen as accurately as possible. Please note: some colors can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs. I do my best to present the specimen faithfully.
All items are professionally packed and shipped with tracking. I have many years of experience in international mineral sales and strive to provide accurate descriptions and high-quality service. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help.
