Description

Aesthetic specimen featuring cube-octahedral and some elongated crystals of cuprite, probably grown on an arborescent native copper cluster, on a matrix of pink cobaltoan-rich calcite. Additionally, there are some nice small isolated and completely gemmy crystals of tabular baryte, of a pale orange colour. As far as I know this is the first reference of baryte from the Kambove mine. 

This candy specimen is perfectly located because it was personally collected by Mr. Rene Virlet, a Belgian colonist in Congo who travel back definitively to Belgium in 1968. Ex. René Virlet specimen.
