Purple mineral and Phosphohedyphane covered by quartz
25th Apr 2016 16:07 UTCJiaqi Sun
Last month I bought a phosphohedyphane from Morocco (Vein 12, Tadaout, Taouz, Er Rachidia Province, Meknès-Tafilalet Region, Morocco).
Phosphohedyphane is covered by quartz and I thought that purple crystals on this specimen are amethysts before, but yesterday I found that its color is due to another purple mineral inclusion, after observing this specimen under microscope. All quartz crystals on this specimen are transparent without any color. There are some photos may show you something about what I said.
The problem we have now is that there is no information about this purple mineral from Taouz Mine in database. NEED HELP.
