    Description

    Welcome to an Adventure
    A venetian Carnival mask, known as
    La Bauta
    .
    Volto and larva, with an intentional pun on rocks and mineralogy, wore white masks, which amusingly
    is resembled here, with the added blue infinity sign on one of the faces of this stone.
    So rock on in secret ambiguity.
    The main display aspect offers a definitive triangle, etched in nature's
    chalk of ajoite sky and seas,
    and a dab of the old black heterogenite.
    On that note, being one of the top copper resources on the globe, it has not been disproved as
    an ajoite source. Remember that the Congo is just left of absolutely nowhere and that
    mining
    areas are even less accessible, so studies and actual scientific and mineralogical
    info is
    scarce.
    The old name for the DRC was Zaïre or the Belgian Congo, in the centre of tropical Africa.
    For those who have time,
    mindat .org
    is fabulous playground for discovery.
    Our knowledge is based on many decades of dealing with minerals from these areas,
    together with info from suppliers. Mineral sourcing in Africa is an informal business and knowledge
    is passed on only by bush telegraph. Having said that, no artisanal miner would give up the precise
    locality of his claim. This region is rich with
    rare
    minerals, so you will almost always find more.
    Most pictures are taken in natural outdoor light, which changes seasonally, daily and with the moods
    of the weather. No refunds will be given on our assumed identification or slight colour differentiation.
    All stones have some contact points, which indicate their authenticity. For the discounted prices we offer,
    and the fact that my husband and I do all the work ourselves, we cannot justify additional laboratory work.
    Analysis are not readily available at the end of the earth, where we are.
    I apologise for the postage cost, however this is a third party cost that we pay Fedex.
