剛果民主共和國

DR Congo

剛果民主共和國——尤其加丹加銅帶——是世界級的次生銅、鈷礦物產地。

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.
