Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Carrollite
Locality: Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 16.0 cm x 11.0 cm x 9.5 cm
A rare, impressive, large and very rich matrix carrollite specimen from a new 2017 find at this well-known locale. Three sharp, larger octahedrons really stand out on the matrix, that includes some smaller pristine carrollites, a myriad of broken carrollite crystals and sections of calcite crystals. The three splendent silver-metallic octahedral crystals have remarkable form and the superb lustre that is characteristic of this rare Cu-Co-Ni sulfide. Some faces have golden iridescence that adds even more character. The striking large octahedron is 1.7 cm on edge and is nearly pristine, with only a small bruise on a lower edge. The other two crystals, to 1.3 cm, are pristine. This is a remarkable large and rich matrix specimen. Weighs 4.6 pounds or 2.1 kilograms.
