Item Description
A rare association specimen from the famed Mashamba West Mine featuring a sculptural mound of soft greenish-blue colored Plancheite coating dark green botryoidal and stalactitic Malachite, with a few gemmy rich golden bladed crystals of Baryte measuring up to 7 mm. I even found a couple little Calcite rhombs in a vug. This is the only specimen featuring Plancheite with Baryte that I can remember seeing from this mine. While the Baryte is minor, it's still noteworthy for its obscurity, and if you collect Congolese minerals, secondary ore minerals or you like unusual combinations, this is a cool piece to pick up for a good price. Ex Brian Kosnar collection.
