Shattuckite, Tantara Mine, Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo

Amongst copper-bearing minerals, shattuckite is certainly a stand-out with its vivid colour and curious forms. This specimen reveals both spongy and radiating, acicular sprays of shattuckite that appear as rough mounds from their undisturbed surface. This is a terrific display specimen and fun to review up close! From Tantara Mine, Shinkolobwe, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. Dimensions: 3.5 x 3.5 x 5.5 cm
