Very old piece in my collection, I bought it from a 'basariste' in Asni, a small town located almost at the other end of Morocco. How curious that already in the year 1985 I had managed to purchase this Touissit rarity, 900 kilometers from there! These 'basaristes' of Morocco have done a formidable job of dispersing its minerals throughout the country, and in a way they have contributed, and continue to contribute, to its mineralogical splendor.
Touissit, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco (±1985)
