Rosell Minerales

Excellent stalactitic coronadite specimen, analyzed by SEM-EDS, with rounded shapes, intense gray almost black. Good size. From this classic locality for Moroccan mineralogy. With yellowish goethite matrix. You can find more information about this species and locality in the Rosell Minerals blog.

Size: 10.8 x 6 x 3.5 cm.

Very brilliant specimen of goethite, from this classic Moroccan mine. It presents an aesthetic botryoidal aggregate, with an intense metallic luster and a deep black color.

Size: 6.7 x 6.0 x 4.8 cm.

These globular vanadinite aggregates, formed by hexagonal crystals, were collected Taouz mine few days before our visit. These groups, which are sometimes partially covered by calcite, are very brilliant, translucent and they are disposed on the matrix covered by lenticular goethite. A new Taouz curiosity.

Size: 7,4 x 5,2 x 3,6 cm.
Main crystal: 6 x6 mm (aggr.).

A very nice huge size goethite specimen showing stalactitic-habit, well developed, with aesthetic botryoidal forms. Exterior color is olive green, with very curious terminations, very thin. We can observe that these growths are formed by several goethite crystals in radial disposition. A high quality specimen for this Moroccan mine.

A very nice specimen of goethite showing stalactitic-habit with botryoidal forms. Exterior color is olive green, with very curious terminations. In the base we can observe that these growths are formed by several goethite crystals in radial disposition. A quality specimen for this Moroccan mine.

This specimen was collected a few days before our visit to the mine. A group of vanadinite crystals with a hexagonal shape and forming nice globular aggregates. The color is orange to reddish, with good transparency and disposed on vugs in the compact limonite matrix, covered by small goethite lenticular crystals. A not very common specimen from this classic mine.

Size: 5,5 x 4,3 x 4,2 cm.
