Glad to be in this beautiful forum. I will be sharing here with you my small and simple collection. Capturing the beauty of minerals in high-quality photography has always intrigued me a lot. I have recently started to photograph my minerals myself. It’s a hard, very hard work!
Be welcome to enjoy my photos!

This specimen is not from 'Aouli,' Martin. It is from the Amerzgane Cercle, likely Tizirine, as evidenced by the presence of that kind of Goethite inclusions alongside this type of Baryte.
You can check this:

Would you like me to change the wrong locality in your post?

Thank you, Jordi.
I can't edit my post myself... And I can't open the photo on your link too.
