Item Description
Kipuhsite gets its name from the Kipushi Mine (Prince Leopold Mine), in Democratic Republic of Congo. This older specimen (probably found in the mid 1960's) features beautiful electric emerald green, monoclinic Kipushite crystals on gossan matrix. A very rare and RICH specimen of this hard to find Copper phosphate. You don't see many specimens with a rich coverage of crystals like this. You won't see another one of these for a while, so don't pass it up.
