Description

A fantastic rich specimen of Talmessite from the famous mining area of Bou Azer, Morocco. The Talmessite forms a dense covering of intergrown crystals forming a botryoidal druse. The sparkling crystals are a fine deep maroon to a rich deep pink. The matrix is a mixture of light pink Cobaltoan Calcite and translucent white Dolomite, but it is the deep colour of the Talmessite that draws your eye in. A rich example of Talmessite from Morocco.
