I would say Tantara but I can't be sure. I believe that the best to do is label it just as "Congo R.D." | I agree with Jordi that your dioptase from Congo is most likely from Tantara Mine.

A nice place for minerals it seems.

Hello Philippe,
What a wonderful specimen. The Barite reminds me of a boutonnière.
