Plancheite (Ref: 20.1-823)
Mindingi Mine, Kambove District, Haut- Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
73mm x 52mm x 41mm
minID: G69-RR5
A sizable mass of radiating fibrous crystals of Plancheite on matrix. The Plancheite specimens from the Congo are remarkably rich, considered by many the worlds best come from the Katanga region. This specimen is from an old find at the less well-known Mindingi Mine in Kambove. It is similar to other good specimens from the region and has the silky to chatoyant luster that is distinctive for the specie. Most often Plancheite is seen as an associate mineral, being the matrix for other Copper species, but it can be a very attractive specie in its own right. This looks especially impressive under magnification. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
