Summary

Description
English: Demesmaekerite, Guilleminite, Digenite
Locality: Musonoi Mine, Kolwezi, Western area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 4.1 x 3.1 x 2.4 cm.
An interesting combination specimen hosting two very rare selenites, Demesmaekerite and yellow Guilleminite. The Guilleminite is micro crystalline but the Demesmaekerite is present in well formed crystals: Some are free standing and reaching 1 mm. The combination is almost unheard of. The matrix is composed of Malachite and Selenium-rich Digenite. This mineral is the source of the selenites in Musonoi. This specimen was recovered during the removal of the U-dump in the early 1990’s. Musonoi has ceased producing minerals since then. Note that Musonoi is the type locality for both species.
