SV3640EZT: Quartz with Quartz after Fluorite

An odd piece from Sidi Rahal: Large, with a pretty color and in good condition, with two peculiarities: small crystals that form elongated groups of stalactitic aspect, not much seen before in Sidi Rahal, and also, the presence of a pseudomorph of Quartz after a large Fluorite crystal. It does not stand out especially because it is on the side of the specimen and is very flat, but there it is. A double rarity from a locality that already had a tendency to yield peculiar quartzes.

JFD101AO2: Quartz with Siderite

Nothing special but, as always in Panasqueira, with 'something' particular. It has the added value of having been in the private collection of a Portuguese doctor who at the time was very assiduous in trying to obtain the best pieces that came out of Panasqueira.

Doubly terminated Quartz crystal, between translucent and transparent, very lustrous, with inclusions and on a matrix of sharp rhombohedral crystals of Siderite. Although it was found in the Taouz area, it is not from the group of mines at that locality but rather appeared on a nearby mountain that has no relation to the mining complex.
Tazoult Nâra deposit, Jebel Boutaraf, Taouz, Er Rachidia Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (±1999)
Specimen size: 8.8 × 5.2 × 3.6 cm = 3.46” × 2.05” × 1.42”

JFD14AN5: Quartz with Siderite

Vizille is a classic French mineral locality where many alpine quartzes and very good (and very large) siderites have been found. I kept this piece because I really liked that Quartz, alone and tall in the middle of the piece, and because the specimen was a floater, with a single large Siderite crystal in which are the Quartz and a second generation of siderites, with smaller and lighter colored crystals.
Mésage Mine, Saint-Pierre-de-Mésage, Vizille, Grenoble, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes France (2010)
Specimen size: 7.2 × 5.6 × 6.1 cm = 2.83” × 2.20” × 2.40”

Main crystal size: 3.7 × 0.7 cm = 1.46” × 0.28”

NM47AC6: Quartz with Siderite

Strongly etched Quartz crystal with very deep dissolutions forms. It is transparent and is partially coated by small Siderite crystals. Very different from the usual Quartzes from Panasqueira, if it was not for the distinctive associated Siderite, it could seem an Alpine Quartz. The upper levels of Panasqueira are currently offering surprising and pleasant novelties, with samples that are different from what is already known.
Minas da Panasqueira, level 1, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Region Portugal (03/2014)
Specimen size: 12.7 × 5.5 × 4.7 cm = 5.00” × 2.17” × 1.85”

MBR87CD3: Quartz with Siderite

Druse formed by Quartz crystals, on matrix, very elongated and aerial, water-clear and perfectly sharp, with endings that show the Dauphine habit, interpenetrated by ocher-brown rhombohedral Siderite crystals forming a classic alpine association for these two species and with the Quartz clearer than is usually the case for this locality.

Specimen size: 8.8 × 6.2 × 5.3 cm = 3.46” × 2.44” × 2.09”

Group of hyaline Quartz crystals, all doubly terminated, with very defined faces, and some with polycrystalline terminations. They have a sharper and 'cleaner' appearance than the typical Panasqueira quartz, with coatings of Siderite and leafy aggregates of Muscovite. Like all specimens in Raúl Sanabria's collection, it was chosen with great care, always aiming to have something special that sets it apart.
