Item Description
Anhydrite specimens are RARE from any Morocco locality and a goethite pseudo after anhydrite exceptionally so! This is a dramatic jackstraw cluster of goethite after elongate anhydrite crystals. The striking bridge girder pseudo across the top is 6.7 cm. A couple of broken pseudos reveal, that they are all probably hollow. The Alain Carion label says El Hammam, but neither species is listed in MINDAT for the locale. Mostly like it is from Aouli, where both species are listed. This mine operated from 1923 to 1960. Older material.
