37329: Carrollite, Chalcopyrite and
Dolomite - $12 Kamoya South II Mine, Kamoya, Kambove, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo Miniature - 3.1 x 3.1 x 2.2 cm 23 grams Specimen status: Reserved Send an email with specimen number to order A brilliantly lustrous, 1.3 cm
carrollite cluster sits atop a crystalline dolomite
matrix. Minor, nondescript chalcopyrite is also present.
As is typical for this material, the carrollite has some
chips; tiny at the front but larger at the back. Could be
trimmed to a thumbnail, but previous experience has shown
that carrollites have a habit of detaching from matrix as
the dolomite splits. A typical example for the
species/locality.
