SPECIMENS FROM MOROCCO

(updated 1/18/2010)

Morocco has been a source of great looking and affordable mineral and fossil specimens over the past 10 years or so. In addition to the specimens shown below, we also carry other affordable Moroccan specimens including vanadinite and hematite (both crystalline and botryoidal).

Quartz & pyrite on green fluorite from Al Hammam, Morocco. These are very showy specimens that we got at the Denver show in September. Prices range from $24-$60.

___#G09-459, (front & back views) $45.

____ Quartz on yellow fluorite, Al Hammam, Morocco (#G08-152, $26). The fluorite fluoresces purple under long-wave UV light. Prices range from $20 to $30.

Epidote, Omilchil, High Atlas Mtns, Morocco. Very nice deep green, gemmy crystal clusters, some with quartz. Prices range from $6-$45, with most under $15.

Aragonite, Sefrou, Morocco. We always try and keep a good supply of these specimens, because they are popular and priced well. Some specimens have a blue color as well as the typical reddish-brown.

__ Pink dolomite, Touissit, Oujda, Morocco (#G06-666, $12). Nice deep pink color, some (like this one) with pyrite or chalcopyrite crystals on them. Prices range from $2-$15, with most under $10.

In addition to mineral specimens we have a large variety of fossil specimens from Morocco, including ammonites, and shark teeth.
