JFD81AO0: Imiter is a large Silver mine, perhaps not as well known as the mines in the Bou Azzer area, but it can occasionally yield large specimens. This Proustite on matrix, with crystals of good size, is obviously not among the best known proustites, but it is still attractive due to the unusual shape of the crystals and the fact that the way these crystals are grouped they generate aggregates of considerable size.
Imiter Mine, Jebel Saghro, Imiter District, Tinghir Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (2005)
Specimen size: 4.6 × 3.2 × 4.5 cm = 1.81” × 1.26” × 1.77”
Main crystal size: 0.5 × 0.4 cm = 0.20” × 0.16”
