Gemmy and glassy emerald green Titanite (Sphene) crystals up to 1 cm in both clusters and as isolated crystals among contrasting off-white to creamy Albite crystals. From a recent and small find in the Anti-Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The minimal scattered damage does not diminish the display potential of this impressive specimen.
Huge specimen of pale pink Rhodocrosite with 1,000's of fine Quartz needles over a layer of black Sphalerite and with minor scattering of fine golden Pyrite crystals. The Raura "mine" is actually several orebodies spread over a 24 square km mineralized area. The rhodochrosites from this area can easily be confused with those from Romania.
