RM1494 Vanadinite with coronadite, mottramite and goethite
Mine Four man, Taouz, Er Rachidia, Meknès-Tafilalet, MoroccoTwo generations of vanadinite crystals. A good-sized brilliant crystals, with echeloned growths and defined faces and edges. With good color yellow and peppered by deep black coronadite globular aggregates and covering the matrix. Another generation shows small crystals (<1 mm) but with a nice luster, transparence, and yellowish tone. Both are on goethite with mottramite crystals.
Size: 8.5 x 7.7 x 4.6 cm.
Found in 2012

RM366 Vanadinite with Coronadite and Mottramite
Mine Four man, Taouz, Er Rachidia, Meknès-Tafilalet, MoroccoIn this excellent specimen we can observe different vanadinite crystals phases. The first is formed by botryoidal aggregates of small vanadinite crystals. Brilliant, translucent and with a yellow to greenish tones. On a second generation, we have huge size and brilliant crystals, with yellow to orange color, which show rounded faces and edges, one of them having a drop shape. One of the cavities of the goethite matrix is covered by very sharp and brilliant lanceolated prismatic crystals of mottramite. Also accompanied bybotryoidal coronadite. Novelty in SMM-2012.
Size: 9,5 x 5,2 x 4,0 cm.
Main crystal: 18 x 10 mm.

RM370 Vanadinite with Coronadite and Mottramite
Mine Four man, Taouz, Er Rachidia, Meknès-Tafilalet, MoroccoA group of very curious yellowish vanadinite hexagonal crystals disposed on a layer of botryoidal coronadite acicular aggregates which are covering the goethite vugs. Accompanied by small but defined mottramite crystals forming clusters partially covering vanadinite crystals. They show a honey to brown color and dipyramidal faces and skeletal growths. A nice sample to be enjoyed on the display and under the microscope.
Size: 7,8 x 4,3 x 3,8 cm.
Main crystal: 6 x 5 mm.
