These hematite crystals from a quarry near Nador are already a classic of Moroccan mineralogy. This specimen is made up of various crystals in parallel growth, with exceptional brilliance, and showing the faces of different crystals. Its size and quality and metallic luster make them a definitive specimen from this locality. These hematites come from a small rhyolite quarry very near the community of Nador, on the road to Melilla.
This specimen is full of brilliance, not easy to show with the camera. The Nador hematite specimens are well known but without matrix. In these specimens we can enjoy a rich group of crystals, with very defined faces and edges, brilliant and disposed very aerially on the rhyolite matrix. The specimens come from a small rhyolite quarry very close to the community of Nador, on the road to Melilla. These hematite have sometimes been erroneously labeled as "Ouichane" or "Jebel Ouichane", the locality for the blue baryte. Very diferent and aesthetic.
