This focused collection presents available specimens from the mineral-rich Katanga Basin while retaining detailed mine and district locality records.
The Katanga Basin forms the Congolese part of the Central African Copperbelt. U.S. Geological Survey research identifies the belt as the world's greatest known sediment-hosted stratiform copper province, with major cobalt resources.
Available pieces may come from Tantara, Shinkolobwe, Kambove, Kolwezi, Tenke-Fungurume and other documented Copperbelt localities. Each listing retains the locality supplied for its exact specimen.
The catalogue may include dioptase, shattuckite, malachite, chrysocolla, cobaltoan calcite and associated copper-cobalt minerals. Current availability is shown above.
