An excellent specimen of quartz, with a slight smoky tone, which presents very aesthetic "window" geometric growths. Doubly terminated and with complex crystallography. With inclusions.
Group of prismatic arfvedsonite crystals, with parallel growth, striated faces and polycrystalline terminations, very shiny and dark green, almost black in color. Accompanied by minor feldspar as a matrix.

Group of prismatic arfvedsonite crystals, with parallel growth, one of them very elongated, striated faces and polycrystalline terminations, shiny and dark green, almost black, on a feldspar matrix.
Group of prismatic arfvedsonite crystals, with parallel growth, striated faces and polycrystalline terminations, shiny and dark green, almost black in color. In feldspar matrix. Nowadays it is difficult to get these samples.

On a matrix formed by orthoclase crystals, numerous titanite crystals are arranged, yellowish olive green in color, transparent to translucent, with brilliance and defined faces and edges. A classic specimen from this Moroccan mining area.
A rich group of epidote crystals of a very good size and an intense green, almost black color. The crystals show very well defined prism faces of different orders. This crystal shape is quite unusual for this Moroccan locality.
Cerussite specimens from the Mibladen area are usually yellowish. In this specimen from the Seroka collection we can see very brilliant and transparent crystals and the largest ones are cyclically twinned. This type of specimen is not common in this area. It fluoresces weakly yellow under UV light.
Intense orange color and good luster chabazite-Ca well defined crystals. With matrix on its back side.
Vesuvianite crystal, with defined faces, doubly terminated, green to dark brown in color. It is labeled as coming from the Imilchil area. Good size and aesthetics.

Specimen very rich in prismatic epidote crystals, well defined, with an intense green color, transparent to translucent. These pieces came out in the late 1990s and are different from the usual ones for the locality. It was acquired by Peter Seroka from G. Gautier at the Munich Show in 2002.
Prismatic crystals of nepheline, associated with a matrix with black schorlomite (garnet group). Although nepheline is a fairly common rock-forming mineral in silica-poor igneous rocks, such as nephelitic syenites, well-formed crystals of this species are rare.
Wulfenite specimens like the one we present are very unusual for this locality and appeared many years ago. On a matrix with dolomite, galena and baryte there are numerous crystals of intense orange color, with dipyramid faces truncated by the pinacoids. Some appear as isolated crystals and mostly in parallel growth. This specimen is from the Peter Seroka collection and previously belonged to the Marcus Lueg collection.
Very esthetic specimen of celestine from Morocco. It shows us a large group of prismatic crystals of this strontium sulphate, very well defined and faceted, and with an excellent transparence that allows us to see a soft bluish color. They are disposed on a compact matrix. This locality is northeast of Imilchil town.
These specimens are formed by numerous prismatic crystals of albite, very well defined and interpenetrated. They are accompanied by acicular crystals of actinolite and epidote, and octahedral magnetite. A piece of good size and quality. They were sold as orthoclase but a recent XRD analysis I have done indicates that it is albite (2/15/2024). Maybe more interesting.

Very curious specimen formed by a matrix of baryte, on one side with lenticular crystals sprinkled with vanadinite and on the other with cavities in which aggregates of vanadinite crystals have grown, with color zoning. An old piece with handwritten label.
An excellent specimen of quartz, with a slight smoky tone, which presents very aesthetic "window" geometric growths. Doubly terminated and with complex crystallography. With inclusions. Not very seen in the market.

Very brilliant specimen formed by various cerussite crystals, with a cyclic twin, well defined and translucent. They exhibit intense yellow fluorescence under LW-UV light. They are disposed on an upholstered matrix of small crystals of the same species and, to give an aesthetic touch, a group of orange baryte crystals.
Very aesthetic aggregates of epidote crystals forming beams, with brilliance, defined and with this classic green color. They are disposed on the matrix with quartz crystals, forming very interesting concentric growths.
Very aesthetic aggregates of epidote crystals forming beams, with brilliance, defined and with a classic green color. They are arranged in groups and in an isolated way on the matrix with quartz crystals, on which they stand out.
