Cuprite, Chrysocolla, Malachite – Mashamba West Mine, Kolwezi, Lualaba, DR Congo
 Richly decorated cuprite specimen from a find in the 1990s.
 The highly lustrous, intact and sharp-edged crystallized cuprites are of considerable size and contrast strongly with the chrysocolla turf.
 In transmitted light, the metallic-looking crystals appear in a flawless, blood-red transparency.
 Cuprites on matrix of this size are extremely rare. Usually, only single crystals or highly prepared specimens are offered.
