Calcite, Barite, Goethite from El Hammam Mine, Meknes, Morocco
$235.00A large and quite striking specimen of Calcite crystals with Goethite and Barite from El Hammam, Morocco. This locality is known for producing many specimens of cubic Fluorite crystals, but this is the first one that I’ve seen with this combination of minerals. The specimen is quite heavy as it is composed mostly of Barite; the backside exhibits many large and lustrous crystal faces of Barite as seen below. Presents very nicely for display, with lots of beautiful details for you to explore all over.
Fluorite from Tinejdad, Er Rachidia, Morocco
$265.00A unique and quite attractive specimen of cubic Fluorite crystals from a locality about 20 km. from Tinejdad, Morocco, which is the source of the popular Hematite-included red Quartz crystals. This is a large cabinet display specimen featuring numerous sharply-terminated cubes of FLUORESCENT yellow Fluorite artfully arranged over a gracefully shaped matrix. I acquired this recently from a well- respected German dealer who deals almost exclusively with Moroccan minerals and fossils; he informed me that he acquired this piece many years ago and has never seen another like it. Needless to say, one-of-a-kind.
Rosasite, Dolomite, Selenite from Bou Beker, Touissit, Morocco
$56.00A very pretty cabinet-sized specimen of teal-blue Rosasite with Dolomite and Selenite from Morocco. It features a matrix of reddish-brown Ferroan Dolomite which is hosting numerous spherical groups of turquoise-blue Rosasite crystals. There is a thin layer of clear Selenite crystals encasing some of the Rosasites and coating some of the Dolomite as well, creating a very sparkly effect and contrasting nicely against the rugged geography of the Dolomite. In excellent condition, with lots of fine details for you to explore all the way around.

This specimen is from an old find and is rather atypical of this locality, primarily because of the presence of Barite. Very colorful and showy, with lots of interesting details for you to explore all over.
