Mibladen Vanadinite

A lot of locals are digging in different areas around Mibladen trying to find fine Vanadinite specimens. Curiously the prices for the nicest specimens are actually higher than the prices were in the past. The reason for this could be that, even though many people are working there, not that many really good specimens have been found. Keeping an eye on the worldwide market situation we recommend these nice Vanadinite specimens for their quality, color or unusual crystal form.

TP79Q0: A novelty at Tucson 2010. The Allargentum appears intergrown with Silver and Dyscrasite. It is clearly differentiated and dominant in the analysis of the sample, so the right label is Allargentum. The Allargentum forms arborescent growths on a Calcite-rich matrix with small groups of Actinolite. We’ll send a copy of the analysis.

Dyscrasite from Bouismas - Bou Azzer

Dyscrasite with Silver, Allargentum and Calcite

MD98P5: A novelty in Munich 2009. Dyscrasite appears intergrown with Silver and Allargentum. Dyscrasite is dominant in the analysis of the sample, so following the IMA recommendations, we should label it as Dyscrasite. On this specimen the Dyscrasite forms arborescent growths on a Calcite rich matrix. We’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer of the piece.

Acanthite

A discovery in 2004 in Imiter, a locality well-known for samples of Silver and Proustite, brought to light some specimens of Acanthite especially important for the size and shape of its crystals, in this case pseudo-octahedral, and not pseudo-cubic, as is usual.

Touissit

The bad news for all of us who have enjoyed all the marvellous specimens from the Touissit mining area is that it has recently stopped production and only a few workers are still there, looking after the pumps. So it is possible that no more quality samples from this mine will be produced in the future.

Tounfit Fluorite

At the beginning of 2006 for the first time this Fluorite appeared in Morocco. It is from an old mine 1700 meters high in a mountain near the Tounfit village. First samples found were good quality but it was in Ste. Marie 2006 where we saw, and purchased, an exceptional parcel with samples of two different crystallizations and also different color and luster.
Welcome to the market, Tounfit Fluorite! We are sure that for your quality and originality you will be famous!
