MZ47AF2: Vanadinite (variety arsenic-bearing vanadinite) with Mottramite

Vanadinite (variety arsenic-bearing vanadinite) crystals, many of them doubly terminated, with very well defined faces and edges, a creamy color, clearer and brighter than usual with this kind of Vanadinite, and on a Dolomite matrix. Associated on the matrix are small black Mottramite crystals. These arsenian Vanadinite are currently accepted as a Moroccan classic.

EXB67AN5: Vanadinite (variety arsenic-bearing vanadinite) with Mottramite

Druse, on matrix, of slightly arsenical elongated Vanadinite crystals with curvatures, many of them doubly terminated, lustrous and of a lighter color than usual in this type of specimen, with black Mottramite coatings.

JFD83AO0: Vanadinite (variety As-bearing)

This is one of the first arsenical vanadinites I got. When the Touissit mine was in operation, they were not very common, and I remember that they were expensive. Later, with the mine already closed, more arsenical vanadinites have been found in old workings, or in artisanal diggings in areas further north of Touissit. In any case, it is a good piece, with a much more intense color than the more recent specimens and with some lighter color zoning that gives it a curious appearance. The piece is a floater and does not have any damaged crystals.

JFD171AO9: Vanadinite on Siderite

This is the first piece from my personal display cases that I put up for sale. I didn't think I would ever sell any of them as they aren't “duplicates”, but in life you never know and recently I got another specimen that has replaced this one and consequently it goes directly from the collection display to this page. It comes from the discoveries made in 2009 in the number 15 vein of Tadaout in Taouz, that are characterized by the presence of Siderite at the base of the Vanadinite crystals, which in turn are characterized by their fan-like habit and also by their good color and luster.
Tadaout, vein 15, Taouz mining area, Taouz Caïdat, Rissani Circle, Er Rachidia Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (01/2009)

EV10Y1: Vanadinite on Siderite

New at Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines 2013 Fine specimen composed of isolated divergent groups of tabular Vanadinite crystals scattered over an unusual matrix of rhombohedral Siderite with well-defined crystals. The Vanadinite crystals show an intense orange-red color and good luster, contrasting with the dark Siderite matrix. This specimen was published on the Mineralogical Record magazine's website, in its section 'What's New in the Mineral World?', 35th edition, August 14, 2013, and has been featured and photographed in the article 'Bergbau und Mineralien des Reviers Taouz, Marokko' in ‘Lapis’ magazine, on page 67 of issue number 3, 5-6/2026 Geologically, the Vanadinite formed in the oxidation zone of lead-bearing mineralizations, where vanadium-rich solutions reacted with primary lead minerals. The Siderite corresponds to an earlier hydrothermal stage and provided the substrate on which the Vanadinite crystals later developed.
