刚果民主共和国
DR Congo
刚果民主共和国——尤其加丹加铜带——是世界级的次生铜、钴矿物产地。
The Democratic Republic of the Congo — above all the Katanga (Haut-Katanga) Copperbelt — is a world-class source of vivid copper and cobalt minerals.
The Katanga Copperbelt
The Copperbelt of southern DR Congo is one of the richest copper-cobalt regions on Earth. Its deeply weathered, oxidised orebodies produce some of the most intensely coloured secondary copper minerals known.
Signature minerals
The Congo is the classic source of emerald-green dioptase, botryoidal malachite, and pink cobaltoan calcite and dolomite, along with shattuckite and plancheite. Congolese dioptase and malachite are benchmark specimens.
