The Katanga copper belt, which stretches for over 250 kilometres between Lubumbashi and Kolwezi, contains 72 economic deposits of copper and cobalt, with four large mining centres. The region has been a major producer of copper for over a century, with copper mining playing a significant role in the country's economy. Some of the largest copper mining operations in the region include the Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) and the Mutanda Mining Sarl, both of which are owned by Swiss mining giant Glencore.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- How much will it cost to ship this item, click \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"here\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to find out.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThis product is currently available online only.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eSimilar items may be available in our store but cannot be guaranteed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e    Want to see this specific item? \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Let us know\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/pages\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLet us know\u003c\/a\u003e and we can arrange for it to be available in store.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eRegarding product images: We strive for accuracy but slight color variations and scale differences may occur.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRefer to the description for accurate size information.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe piece in the image is the exact piece you will receive.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42257830379716,"sku":"S149","price":950.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/cobaltoan-calcite-on-matrixs149-690539.png?v=1724311954"},{"product_id":"malachite-congos-green-treasure","title":"Malachite: Congo's Green Treasure","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Treasure Malachite Polished Freeform the DRC\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e  92\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003emm x 53mm x 26mm Approximately\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416 gram\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLocation: \u003cspan\u003e Democratic Republic of Congo\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMalachite is a stunning green gemstone, prized for its mesmerizing swirls and deep emerald hues.
