8.5 x 7 x 6 cm. Here is a very fine specimen of Soddyite crystals associated with Curite crystals. Both of the minerals are covered with a thin layer of Heterogenite which gives a black color to a part of the specimen. This is typical for Shinkolobwe. The matrix is massive Curite. Shinkolobwe is the type locality for both Soddyite and Curite.
