New discovery: very aerial floater group of platy Chalcocite crystals with a sharp pseudo-hexagonal outline and with fine coatings of Malachite.
The specimen comes from new workings in the M'Passa area where a group of small mines produced, in a glorious past, specimens with large sharp crystals. With the cessation of exploitation in the 1980s that glory was lost, but fortunately it has now returned with specimens as magnificent as those and, moreover, with a great variety of crystallographic habits. This specimen has been published on the Mineralogical Record´s web page, in the 'What's New' section, report 61, August 30, 2021 edition, page 10
M'Passa Mines, Mindouli District, Pool Department Republic of the Congo (2021)
Specimen size: 3.1 × 2 × 1.3 cm = 1.22” × 0.79” × 0.51”
