An excellent and showy malachite with cuprite specimen from the famous Mashamba West Mine of Shaba Province, Zaire. Seven, sharp, lustrous, dark wine-red cuprite crystals to 6 mm are aesthetically scattered on a sculptural crust of blocky, primary malachite blades. The association is uncommon. Primary malachite of this quality is more significant, though, and also is not that common from Zaire or anywhere.
