A different form of kasolite in the habit of radiating crystal aggregates; also in the presence of another, more orange-red mineral (masuyite is a likely guess although it could simply be an oddly colored second deposition of kasolite - pending analysis). Either way, a gorgeous specimen!

Vandenbrandeite, Kasolite from Musonoi Mine, Kolwezi, Western area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) [db_pics/mdpics/MD-201036b.jpg]

5.5 x 2.2 x 4 cm. This is an unusually good specimen of large Vandenbrandeite crystals, well isolated on matrix. Well developed dark green Vandenbrandeite crystals gathered together in unusual "bowtie" shapes, with small yellow Kasolite flakes decorating them. Kasolite occurs in Musonoi in this form and is easily recognizable because it shows a highly pearly lustre. Some small yellowish frosted Baryte crystals are associated. The Vandenbrandeite bowties reach 5 mm.

MD-201063 - Curite, Kasolite, Metatorbernite - - Archived

11 x 6 x 4 cm. An exceptional specimen of orange Curite and Kasolite with green Metatorbernite. The curite forms needles which are filling the spaces between and sits on the huge Metatorbernite crystals. It is associated with Kasolite in blocky crystals. The matrix consists of massive Metatorbernite. Shinkolobwe is the type locality for Curite and Kasolite both.

3 x 2 x 2.2 cm. Here is a specimen of very fine, orange, well crystallized Kasolite associated with green Torbernite tablets. The crystals are gathered together in bunches and are very aesthetically dispersed over the matrix. These specimens where recovered during the removal of the uranium dump in the early 90’s. The Kasolite crystals reaches more than 1 mm (large for this species).

5.2 x 3.7 x 3 cm. Many well formed and terminated orange crystals to over 1 mm (big for species), lining cavities in Metatorbernite. There is periphery damage on this specimen but the crystals inside the vugs are pristine. These specimens where recovered during the removal of the uranium dump in the early 1990s.
