Barite with Malachite
specimen number:
1503801
location:
Shangulowe Mine, Kambove, Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo
description:
Beautiful green translucent to transparent prismatic crystals of barite measuring to almost 2.0 cm in height scattered over the top of a 10.0 x 6.5 x 3.0 cm velvety botryoidal crystallized malachite matrix. This is in very good condition, very slight rubbing on some of the malachite. I think overall though quite nice. From material collected in the late 1990s there was quite a bit of this on the market at that time and suddenly it was all gone, never to be seen again. Shipping weight: 0.88 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
Size: 10.0 x 6.5 x 3.0 cm (cabinet)
