This is a natural Barite with Malachite specimen from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a classic and highly collectible mineral association from the Katanga region. The specimen features vivid green malachite contrasted by flat, tabular barite crystals with a soft white to cream coloration. These plate-like barite formations are a well-known and sought-after characteristic of Congo copper deposits, creating a striking geometric contrast with the rounded and fibrous textures of malachite.
This type of association is appreciated by collectors for its mineralogical interest, visual balance, and rarity, especially in smaller, well-preserved specimens. The piece is completely natural, unpolished, and carefully selected for crystal integrity and aesthetic harmony. Ideal for mineral collectors, educational collections, or as a refined decorative specimen, this Barite with Malachite offers both scientific and visual appeal.
