RM1548   Scolecite

Scolecite and aerinite specimens from this small Aragonese town are known worldwide. This specimen shows groups of acicular prismatic crystals those form globular aggregates which, when extracted, they allow us to see the radiated growths perfectly. Snowy white color and good luster. Samples of this quality and size are rare and less nowadays.

RM1544   Celestine with calcite
Sr(SO4)
  -  7. Sulfates, chromates, molybdates and wolframates

Celestine crystals from this locality are very appreciated by the collectors of Spanish minerals for their color, brilliance and definition of faces. This specimen shows several celestine crystals of good size, "prismatic", with well defined rhombohedron faces, translucent and with a visible sky blue color. They are disposed on a matrix with calcite scalenohedral crystals. Nowadays it is not easy to find crystals with this size and quality from this locality.

RM1506   Opal
SiO₂·nH₂O
  -  0.

Among the Spanish collectors, the Zamoran opals are well known. This specimen were collected from an area from which to obtain pieces with this quality and size is very difficult, I can certify it... This specimen presents opal nodules, with an intense orange color, some brilliance and surrounded by a solid matrix. I say this because, despite the visible fractures, stability is assured. A sample of quality for this locality.
