Abstract

The Onganja mine is famous for the huge, well-formed cuprite crystals found there in 1973, and the fine specimens of non-pseudomorphous malachite recovered in 1974, A number of other species in display-quality specimens have also come to light. The mine is now closed and flooded, making it unlikely that further specimens will emerge.
