JFD115AO3: One of Aouli's specialties: Quartz with a first generation of blood-red color and a second generation of totally colorless Quartz that allows the underlying red first generation to be seen very well. Curiously, Aouli's fame is not derived from these quartzes but from fluorites, which do not actually come from there but rather from the deposits of Sidi Ayad and Chebka Sidi Said.
Aouli, Mibladen mining district, Mibladen, Midelt, Midelt Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (1996)
