{"title":"Rare and Ultra-Rare Collection","description":"There is always that one piece! Over years of buying collections and working with rocks from Madagascar, Namibia, Congo, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and beyond, we’ve discovered items that are truly unique—some cannot be repeated, and others are relics from decades past. Occasionally, we come across a rare inclusion, the finest example from a new mineral deposit, a mineral from yesteryear, or a genuine one-of-a-kind anomaly. Many of these exceptional pieces have been set aside from our wholesale business.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith over 35 years supplying hundreds of shops and rock businesses, and more than 40 years of mineral collecting experience, we are well qualified to recognise “one-off” unique pieces—items that may never be found again. Super rare doesn’t always mean super expensive; these treasures range from affordable to top-tier rarities. Examples include an old Tsumeb specimen, Papagoite, Rhodochrosite, a perfect Golden Rutile Crystal, Indicolite, Red Olmiite, Cuprosklodowskite, an Elephant Bird Egg, a 12-ton petrified wood tree specimen, or a 150kg Orbicular Ocean Jasper display piece. We are passionate about searching for these “needle in the haystack” anomalies, whether it’s a 200-year-old carved box from Madagascar, antique jewellery, artefacts, or old mining memorabilia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nI have also released items from my private collection, built over 40 years. This includes more than 5,000 minerals, around 2,000 fossils, and 11,000 stone tools and palaeoanthropological artefacts, along with other unusual finds. Collecting has always been my passion (hence the Toprock logo), and I understand the excitement of seeking out pieces for their beauty and the knowledge they offer. We never know what we’ll discover next, but we always look forward to the adventure.","products":[{"product_id":"natural-ball-malachite-on-dolomite-matrix-specimen-x-1-from-kambove-congo","title":"Natural Ball Malachite On Dolomite Matrix Specimen x 1 From Kambove, Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Gorgeous, Medium-Large (14 cm long) Cabinet Specimen of Classic, Rare Ball Malachite with Crystalline Spheroids of bright green Malachite on a Dolomite Matrix.

This specimen is over 17 cm long and almost 1 kg, with Gemmy Translucent Pink Crystals and a few rare, Tan-Green Botryoidal Kolwezite Crystallization in crevices, and on crystals. This is a classic Rare Mineral that is not easy to get ahold of. It's not perfect, and has some cleaved points on it, but it would also be several thousand dollars anywhere else. This piece is beautiful and very well priced for such a rare, beautiful 17 cm specimen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Mashamba West Mine, Congo\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Very Good Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 173 - 45 - 101 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RHODOCALCITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44144213590070,"sku":"R0083-250925AE","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/5235\/1030\/files\/R0083_1_4dfdbcb6-ce4a-4a33-b78b-cc827b349a6b.jpg?v=1759780430"},{"product_id":"natural-cubes-of-kolwezite-pseudomorph-after-malachite-on-chrysocolla-coated-cobaltion-dolomite-x-1-from-congo","title":"Natural Cubes of Kolwezite Pseudomorph after Malachite on Chrysocolla Coated Cobaltion Dolomite x 1 From Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DESCRIPTION \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eextremely rare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, one of a kind, Cubes Of \u003cstrong\u003eKolwezite Pseudomorph after Malachite, on Chrysocolla Coated Pink Cobaltion Calcite with Dolomite\u003c\/strong\u003e.
