Description

Well-defined crystals of tabular elongated baryte, completely transformed to green malachite, also present at the rear side. There are 5 geodes where different stages of the mineralization are observed. In one, the typical glassy, light blue chrysocolla still occupy the core of the geodes. Good representative specimen from the Shangulowé mine, where big world-class specimens of malachite after baryte were found long ago.

Collected before 1960, the specimen is from the stock of Robert Verdoodt, who was working in the laboratories of Union Minière du Haut-Katanga and evacuated to Belgium after the beginning of the Congo crisis.
