Malachite stalactite, Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo; The Stalactite less the matrix is 30 cm long
This elite malachite stalactite on matrix was bought by Matthew Webb during a visit to Lubumbashi in December 2009. Of the 2500 kilograms of Katanga mineral specimens that the author worked with in late 2009, this is clearly the most memorable piece that he worked with.
This elite malachite specimen was stewarded through airport security check points in Lubumbashi, Johannesburg, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. This elite mineral specimen was a piece of carry on luggage during the thousands of kilometers that the author travelled with this piece. It is remarkable that this piece has survived the journey from a large mineralized pocket to its safety deposit locker in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
