TG69AL3: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite)

Aggregate of very elongated elongated crystals, with two generations of growth, the first having very elongated white crystals, with slight curvatures on the faces and edges, and a second, with reddish orange tints. A classic salvaged from Touissit‘s glorious era.
Touissit, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco
Specimen size: 11.1 × 10.9 × 5.6 cm = 4.37” × 4.29” × 2.20”

FG53C1: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite)

Open group of Tarnowitzite (Lead rich Aragonite variety) from Touissit. As is the case most of the time with Oliete's specimens the esthetics are excellent.
Touissit Mine, Shaft IX (Puit IX), Touissit, Touissit-Bou Beker mining district, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco
Specimen size: 9 × 8.8 × 6.2 cm = 3.54” × 3.46” × 2.44”

N8PH5: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite)

Its prismatic crystals have a perfect crystallization, but we call attention on its degree of transparency, very uncommon, on this plumbian variety of Aragonite. It’s also interesting to enhance the contrast with Limonite matrix with little acicular crystals of Malachite. We’ll send a copy of the analysis with the sample.
Touissit Mine, Shaft IX (Puit IX), Touissit, Touissit-Bou Beker mining district, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco (1998)
Specimen size: 2.9 × 3.1 × 2.4 cm = 1.14” × 1.22” × 0.94”

AD11M6: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite)

Group of twinned crystals of this rare plumbian variety of Aragonite. They are very well defined and have neat color zonating. They are white on the top and practically uncolored on the prism. They are on a matrix with small crystals of Dolomite.
Touissit, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco
Specimen size: 4.2 × 3.4 × 2.5 cm = 1.65” × 1.34” × 0.98”

Main crystal size: 1.9 × 1.1 cm = 0.75” × 0.43”

MF78I0: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite) on Calcite

The crystal is a typical pseudohexagonal twin and it is formed by a short prism and the pseudopyramidal termination. It is esthetically grown on a matrix covered by concretions of Calcite contrasting with white Tarnowitzite, a lead-rich variety, not very common, of Aragonite.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region Namibia
Specimen size: 4.5 × 4.5 × 3.8 cm = 1.77” × 1.77” × 1.50”

MF39AF0: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite) with Smithsonite

Very elongated prismatic crystals, a lot of them doubly terminated. They have very well defined faces and edges, with a white color and are on matrix with small Smithsonite crystals. A classic of the most glorious Touissit epoch.
Touissit, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco
Specimen size: 9.9 × 5.3 × 3 cm = 3.90” × 2.09” × 1.18”

Main crystal size: 8 × 0.7 cm = 3.15” × 0.28”

GP67R0: Aragonite (variety tarnowitzite) with Smithsonite

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, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region Morocco (±1988)
Specimen size: 9 × 7.4 × 4.4 cm = 3.54” × 2.91” × 1.73”
