The gorgeous pink Cobaltoan Dolomite specimens from this location are some of the best in the world. This specimen is from Mashamba West Mine, Sicomines copper-cobalt project, Mutshatsha, Lualaba, DR Congo. This piece is a great medium sized cabinet piece for any collector who loves vibrant color and visual textures.
Locality Information:
Opencast mine started in 1978. The mine is called Mashamba West, since there is another open-cut working further east (Mashamba East mine). The latter is much less interesting from a mineralogical point of view.
The mine is known for outstanding cobalt-bearing calcite, cuprite, baryte, and malachite.
Now part of the Sicomines copper-cobalt project.
