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.
Group of fine prismatic crystals of calcite of hexagonal shape, with colour zoning and small recrystallizations of the same calcite in some areas of the piece. The crystals are on a fluorite matrix with quartz and small pyrite crystals. Both calcite (red-pink) and fluorite fluoresce under UV light.

Group of tabular crystals of calcite of hexagonal shape, with color zoning and small recrystallizations of the same calcite in some areas of the piece. Crystals are on a matrix with fluorite, quartz and small pyrite crystals. It shows a intense reddish tone under UV light. Aesthetic specimen from this classic Moroccan locality.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Group of fine, laminar, pseudohexagonal calcite crystals with color zoning and small recrystallizations of the same mineral. They are accompanied by small quartz and pyrite crystals. It belongs from the Manchion collection (Barcelona).
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.

Nice botryoidal specimen of hematite, very brilliant. In the fracture zone we can see radial growths. A Moroccan curiosity.
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.
Group of andradite crystals, melanite variety, which show very well defined forms of the dodecahedron, truncated at the edges by those of the trapezohedron. Intense black color, with semi-dull luster.
A good size crystal of andradite, melanite variety, which shows very well defined forms of the dodecahedron, truncated at the edges by those of the trapezohedron. Intense black color, with brilliance.
Group of andradite crystals, melanite variety, which show very well defined forms of the dodecahedron, truncated at the edges by those of the trapezohedron. Intense black color, with a semi-matte luster, and small goethite coatings.
Groups of octaedral magnetite crystals, some in staggered growth, with an excellent luster, very well defined faces and edges. They are disposed on a matrix of microcline crystals.
Fan-shaped aggregates of epidote crystals with an intense green color and luster. They are accompanied by hyaline quartz crystals and fine olive green actinolite needles. A different specimen from this classic Moroccan locality.
A really interesting good size and gemmy fluorapatite crystal. We can observe perfectly the combination of the first and second order prisms; very sharp terminal faces, with first order hexagonal dipyramid. A specimen to enjoy crystallography and aesthetics.
Crystal shows excellent brilliance, transparence and a vivid yellow color with green tones. The specimen is from a Moroccan classic mine located in the Imilchil mountains area.
