A RARE CONGO TREASURE

A RARE CONGO TREASURE

This one is absolutely EPIC — and from a small, one-time find that produced some truly special material.

An incredible combination of Mimetite & Philipsbornite from the Yanga Koubenza Quarry in the Republic of the Congo. The color contrast is just ridiculous — electric blue Philipsbornite completely lighting up the matrix, accented by those vibrant yellow-green Mimetite crystals scattered across the surface.

It almost doesn’t look real.

What makes this one even more exciting is the limited nature of the find. When a small pocket produces material this colorful, unusual and aesthetic, you know you’re looking at something collectors are going to remember.

At just 13.8 grams and 41 × 28 mm, this little powerhouse packs some serious presence.

Tiny piece. MASSIVE personality.
