Democratic Republic of the Congo
Explore an exclusive collection of mineral specimens from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, one of the most mineral-rich regions on Earth and a global reference for copper and cobalt mineralization.
The Katanga Copperbelt, including famous localities such as Kolwezi, Tenke, Likasi and Shaba Province, is world-renowned for producing some of the most visually striking copper-based minerals ever found.
This collection includes exceptional specimens of malachite (botryoidal and fibrous aggregates), cuprite, chrysocolla, heterogenite, cobalt minerals, pseudomalachite, azurite and native copper, often associated with quartz or carbonate matrix.
DR Congo minerals are highly valued for their intense green and blue coloration, sculptural forms and dramatic aesthetic impact. Many specimens from this region are considered reference pieces in modern mineral collecting due to their size, quality and visual power.
