Item Description

This is a hard to find combo from any locality in Republic of the Congo. This particular piece comes from a small find in 2022 and features powder yellow micro Mimetite coating translucent, soft silvery colored, sparkling radiating aggregates of Hemimorphite on oxidized matrix. No damage to the central portion of the piece, and the gentle pastel hues makes for an eye-catching display specimen. Very few of these were found, and although both minerals are fairly common in secondary copper-lead-zinc deposits, it's rare to see them together from Mfouati in my experience.
