Item Description

A rarely seen specimen from the Kipushi Mine featuring "snowflake"-like cluster of off-white colored Cerussite blades sitting atop a layer of dark green, velvety, botryoidal Malachite. I've only seen a select few pieces of this material from the Kipushi Mine, but my source in DRC swears that's where it was found. The piece is not without some imperfections, as there are some bruises to the Cerussite, but I purchased the specimen in a lot, and it was the only one like it, so I've decided to put it in the auctions for anybody interested in secondary ore minerals, specimens from DRC or Cerussite enthusiasts.
