RM3570   Chalcocite
Cu₂S
  -  2. Sulfuros y sulfosales

A group of brilliant pseudohexagonal chalcocite crystals, one of which stands out for its size and definition. These specimens, considered among the finest in the world, come from the M'Passa mining area in the Republic of the Congo, near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Many of the mining operations closed in the 1980s, but new workings have yielded exceptional specimens like this one.

Size: 6.4 x 4.6 x 3.2 cm.
Main crystal: 3.3 x 3 x 0.9 cm.
