JFD172AP0: It may seem silly, but jarosites from Spain are among the best in the world not because of the size of the crystals but because of their quality and transparency. Also, even though the ones from Arteal are not from the type locality, which is Barranco Jaroso, both localities are in the Sierra Almagrera and not far from each other.

JFD173AP0: This very fine Quartz from the mythical La Gitana mine has a curious history, because it came to my collection very recently. I did not have any pieces of it but with the sale of part of the collection of Santiago Jiménez I became very happy with this one although, as sometimes happens, another better one had been forgotten, and several months after the 'coming out' of that collection I was able to acquire another Quartz from the same mine, and so in the end I am letting this one go.

JFD176AP0: Very old piece in my collection, I bought it from a 'basariste' in Asni, a small town located almost at the other end of Morocco.

These 'basaristes' of Morocco have done a formidable job of dispersing its minerals throughout the country, and in a way they have contributed, and continue to contribute, to its mineralogical splendor.
