ONE-TIME CONGO MAGIC

ONE-TIME CONGO MAGIC

This is one of those small, one-time finds that collectors dream about.

An absolutely EPIC Philipsbornite with Mimetite from the Yanga Koubenza Quarry in the Republic of Congo — covered in electric blue to turquoise Philipsbornite with those tiny pops of vivid yellow-green Mimetite scattered across the surface. The color contrast is just insane.

Material from this find is highly sought after, and when you see a piece with this kind of saturation, coverage, texture, and eye appeal, it’s easy to understand why.

A rare little pocket of Earth’s art that came and went. These are the pieces you grab when you see them.
