Baryte bush on malachite baseLooking like a natural sculpture, this unusual combination of minerals is only found as beautiful specimens in one place, the Mashamba mine in the Katanga copper belt of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Before any pedants comment, I was as surprised as you to discover I had been misspelling the first mineral, and that the one I have used us the official IMA version. This sensuous specimen is 10.7x7x8cm in size.LozImage credit: Rob Lavinsky/iRocks.com -- source link
