To be more accurate, your Wulfenite comes from Sidi Amer, Touissit. I already added it to your text.

@Carles: Thanks, i'm glad you like the specimens and my photos!
@Jordi: I already wondered how "Sidi Amer" was provided in my locality information without any effort on my part - i began to doubt my sanity ;) I only knew the specimen comes from Toussit. But knowing that you are an expert for Moroccan minerals, i'm glad you made my locality information more detailed, thanks!

Garnet from Canada. I will give this specimen some trimming to remove the parts of former crystals on the upper left, then it will be a neat miniature.
Concerning the green mineral next to the grossular - am i right that it is diopside?
