From Mashamba West, Kolwezi, Western area, Shaba Cu belt, Shaba (Katanga), Congo (Zaire). It is no surprise that minerals predominantly display colors involving one of the "earth tones" - orange, brown, black, tan, etc. Here a fairly normal, golden-hued Calcite matrix is thinly over-coated by the second generation of Calcite strongly infused with Cobalt, a metal that the DRC is the main source for. The bright Cobalt-based color being present in the exterior portions of the calcite crystals makes them appear to be outlined in hot pink. Just for a little extra "punch", there are bright green patches of Malachite scattered about the upper surface of the piece.
