Libethenite from Nkana Mine, Zambia

Libethenite from Nkana Mine, Kitwe, Kitwe District, Copperbelt Province, Zambia

A nice specimen of Libethenite from the Nkana Mine (Rokana Mine).

These specimens were typically extracted in the 1970s, with the mine closing not too long afterwards - the mine produced some of the finest specimens of Libethenite worldwide.

We only currently have a single specimen measuring 54.3x42.1x28.2MM; the Libethenite sits in a vug and measures 17.3x10.9MM approximately.
