{"title":"Kolwezite","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKolwezite\u003c\/strong\u003e is a rare copper-cobalt hydroxyl carbonate with the formula CuCo(CO3)(OH)2, chemically and structurally related to \u003cstrong\u003erosasite\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eglaukosphaerite\u003c\/strong\u003e within the \u003cstrong\u003erosasite group\u003c\/strong\u003e. First described in 1980, it takes its name from the town of \u003cstrong\u003eKolwezi\u003c\/strong\u003e in the \u003cstrong\u003eKatanga Copper Crescent\u003c\/strong\u003e of the \u003cstrong\u003eDemocratic Republic of Congo\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it was discovered at the now-legendary \u003cstrong\u003eMusonoi Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e, still recognized today as its type locality. As a member of the oxidized zone assemblage typical of copper-cobalt hydrothermal ore deposits, kolwezite forms through the alteration of primary sulfides in a supergene environment rich in both copper and cobalt, a geochemical combination found in very few places on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.italmineral.com\/collections\/kolwezite.oembed","provider":"ITALMINERAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
