Kolwezite pseudo after Cuprite crystals with Co Dolomite (Ref: 22.1-208)
Kakanda Mine, Kakanda Deposit, Lubudi, Lualaba Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
43mm x 34mm x 22mm
Several dark green crystals are perched on contrasting bright pink Cobaltoan Dolomite. These crystals are a full pseudomorph of Cuprite showing perfectly the original modified octahedral form. This is now fully changed to Kolwezite which is a rather rare specie worldwide. Non pseudomorphed crystals of this Copper Cobalt Carbonate are only found as small micros (Triclinic, usually as elongated fibers). This piece is from a very small new find which to my knowledge is the first ever with such fine sharp pseudomorphs. No damage, colorful and an excellent attractive and rare copper pseudo!From: Well-Arranged Molecules
