A major copper-cobalt province
The Katanga Basin forms the Congolese part of the Central African Copperbelt. The U.S. Geological Survey describes this belt as one of the world's most important copper-producing regions, with major sediment-hosted copper and cobalt deposits.
Localities represented
Available pieces may come from documented localities such as Tantara, Shinkolobwe, Kambove, Kolwezi, Mashamba West and Tenke-Fungurume. Each product page records the locality supplied for that specimen.
Collector minerals
The region is known to collectors for dioptase, shattuckite, cobaltoan calcite, malachite, chrysocolla, cuprite and associated copper-cobalt mineral assemblages. Availability changes as individual pieces are added or sold.
