Couldn't load pickup availability
A masterclass in natural contrast, this exceptional specimen from the Mashamba West Mine features lustrous, electric-pink Cobaltoan Dolomite accented by vibrant green Malachite. The 'hot pink' saturation, caused by cobalt substitution within the dolomite structure, is a hallmark of the Katanga Copper Belt and is among the most sought-after color profiles in contemporary mineralogy. We selected this piece for its substantial cabinet presence and the crisp, rhythmic distribution of Malachite across the sparkling crystalline surface.
