Excellent crystalline druse of Malachite - it seems that the Malachite may have pseudomorphed the previous growth of Azurite crystals. Locality specimen from an old collection.

>#BM05310 :Prehnite and Orthoclase Feldspar

Imilchil, Anti Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Another lovely Prehnite specimen, this one showing well crystalised waxy spheres with a rose 'blush' to the crystals.This is probably due to iron inclusion. The associated white crystals are probably Feldspar.

Excellent and unusual locality specimen (have you seen these offered anywhere else?)

#BM05306 : Garnets & Hematite

Tamazeght Complex, High Atlas mountains, Morocco

2.9 x 2.0 x 1.4 cms : Thumbnail

This is a great thumbnail (more of a toenail really!)of this unusual locality specimen. An excellent combination piece of gemmy red Garnets and metallic platy crystals of Hematite, contrasting beautifully against the white matrix.

I have not seen any more of these unusual specimens from here since 2005.

Lovely miniature specimen of bladed Barite, with a generous scattering of lustrous Azurite crystals and Malachite. Again, the Azurite looks to have been replaced by the Malachite.

Butterscotch yellow Wulfenite crystals sit nestled in an open Dolomite crystal lined vug. The Dolomite crystals are typically saddle-shaped pinkish white rhombs. The Wulfenites are lozenge shaped crystals with perfectly bevelled edges.Associated sulphides.

Some slight damage to some crystals, but otherwise a good example of the material that came out of this location over 20 years ago.
