Hematite from Tadaout, Taouz, Er Rachida, Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco.

Brilliant botryoidal Hematite with cold touch and heavy weight (236 gr).
In the cut we observe concentric growths of different colours, and radial fibrous growths of hematite.

These pieces have been cleaned in origin with sand which eliminates the surface oxide layer to let us see these spherical forms of good size. Curious Moroccan novelty found in 2018.

Quartz from Segovia, Northeast, Antioquia Department, Colombia. (Nº-44).

Good size doubly terminated translucent Quartz crystal with many termination points at both ends.
Also in a side there are growing of caramel color smaller ones.

The quartzs i have from Segovia are usually without notches, but the size and the well conservated edges from this locality, where gold is the King, make this piece a special example.

To know more you have a thread in the spanish side showing a trip to Segovia looking for a “entable” or gold ore transformation colombian factory.
