Carrollite (Ref: 1716)

Here we have a fine sample with Carrollite crystals of cuboctahedral form contrastful set on creamy Dolomite matrix from the Kamoya South II Mine of Katanga in Democratic Republic of the Congo. These bright, silvery metallic mirror-like crystal faces showing fine striation and super sharp edges. The major crystal here is absolutely PRISTINE,- relatively rare for the species and the locality. Carrollite is now fairly common... although it has been seldomly found, there were a few big pockets found at this amazing location, though they were decades ago. This is from the pocket of the late 1990s, and it was chosen at the time for balance, perfection, and size for a miniature of competitive quality, from the hundreds available at that time. The sharpness, isolated crystal aesthetics, and delicate positioning on matrix makes this a superior miniature sized specimen for the discerning collector, who needs a great specimen for a reasonable price, that happens to be a mini.
