    Welcome to an African Adventure
    Zoom into the pictures as the shimmering quartz coating has an almost distorting effect.
    Cobaltoan Calcite confetti amidst the turbulent sea of
    turquoise chrysocolla.
    Green blobs of
    vesignieite
    , like seals and dolphins frolicking in the surf.
    Heterogenite
    and friends take a breather on the rocks, catching some sun rays. The
    biscuity matrix
    has a dash of
    maroon
    staining peering through, possibly from
    goethite
    or another form of iron oxide.
    The druse
    quartz party
    coats the centre stage cube of cobaltoan calcite like an electric carpet.

    The challenge with
    new find
    is that the techno teams have yet to huddle over their microscopes, stereoscopes
    and x-ray
    diffractions.  So, this is what we, from our experience of the specific mine, guestimate.
    It could take years till people with enough
    scientific knowledge, equipment, manpower and budget are able to
    not only visit, but spend sufficient time at this specific site.
    The Copper Belt, of which the DRC, previously known as
    Zaïre
    , is slap bang in  the centre, has some of the planet's
    most decadently coloured specimens.
    For interest, please visit
    mindat . org
    and search for Tenke
    Fungurume
    and surrounding areas.
    You'll find an
    exhausting
    , not exhaustive
    list of rare and lesser known minerals.
    Also notice variations in spelling between the various authorities, which we find amusing.
    Try Wikipedia and other dealer's posts, such as PACIFIC MINERALS,
    erocks irocks etc etc, but you may not enjoy their pricing,
    have fun, browse,
    make offers and of course
    , feel free to do your own research along the way.
    We love African, especially Sub Saharan African minerals and do our best to share the hobby at accessible prices.
