Touissit, Touissit-Bou Beker mining district, Jerada Province, Oriental Region, MoroccoDimensions: 9 cm x 7.4 cm x 4.4 cm
Group of cream-colored twinned crystals of this lead-bearing variety of Aragonite (6-7 % PbO in the samples from Morocco). They have very well defined faces and edges and are on a matrix with small crystals of Smithsonite. Such samples, found around 1988, are actually very scarce.
Touissit, Oujda, Morocco.
Found in ±1988
Very fluorescent long & short UV
Former Pedro Goy collection. Number 384.

Tarnowitzite is the familiar name for plumboan (lead-rich) aragonite (which of course is a polymorph of calcite). It is uncommon, with good crystals being known from under 20 localities worldwide (including the best from Tsumeb). This specimen from Morocco is unusually large and aesthetic for the species and locale, with arborescent sprays and a parallel-growth cluster of glistening two-toned crystals attached to a small shard of galena matrix. Essentially solid tarnowitzite. Straw-yellow fluorescence. Ex. Bob Trimingham Collection.
