This is a MM-sized specimen of Unidentified Teal-Blue Native Copper Cuprite Malachite from Tenke Mine Tenke-Fungurume Area Lualaba DR Congo. The locality code for this location is MD228186 (MD=MinDat, all others are proprietary). Massive cuprite matrix with occasional shiny metallic native copper. Bright-green malachite. Several areas (red arrows) of an unidentified teal-blue material, which could be buttgenbachite or claringbullite. Or it could be something else, but I don't believe it is chrysocolla.
All mineral species identifications are visual unless otherwise indicated. If available, XRD and/or SEM analyses documentation will be noted and supplied. Unmentioned species may also be present on the specimen.
