Phosphohedyphane over Cerussite on Copper
M'fouati, Bouenza Department, Republic of Congo
4.0 cm x 3.5 cm x 2.3 cm
 
Here is one amazing specimen, especially for those that like the unusual.
Very few specimens such as this have been found.
This is a large, rather thick, twinned Cerussite crystal perched on some native copper.
It is coated with a very uncommon mineral, Phosphohedyphane.
The Phosphohedyphane coating is made up of micro botryoidal mounds,
ranging in color from a a whitish green to a fluorescent lime green,
which have completely coated the large twinned cerussite crystal.
This is an aesthetic and unique specimen.
