This specimen captures a rare moment of geological synergy, featuring rich, forest-green Malachite accented by crystalline Quartz and the earthy, ochre tones of Goethite. We selected this piece for its diverse textural landscape, where the soft, organic forms of copper carbonates meet the rigid geometry of silica and the oxidized iron-rich matrix. It is a compelling 'mineralogical portrait' of the Katanga region’s complex oxidation zones, offering both aesthetic beauty and high educational value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIMEN DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eMineralogy:\u003c\/b\u003e Malachite, Quartz, and Goethite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.9 x 6.4 x 3.0 cm (2.7 x 2.5 x 1.2 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 147g (5.2 oz)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\"\u003eSignificance:\u003c\/b\u003e Multi-species oxidation zone specimen\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Mindingi Mine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindat.org\/loc-4336.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMindingi mine, Kambove, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll specimens include a label bearing the mineral name and origin as well as provenance label(s) for the specimen, if any.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNote: Each piece is handpicked for quality and uniqueness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gatsby Gems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51969475379475,"sku":"MAL-SPEC-001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/0611\/0227\/files\/1000040636.jpg?v=1751038554","url":"https:\/\/gatsbygems.com\/products\/malachite-quartz-goethite-dr-congo","provider":"Gatsby Gems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
