The artisanal quarries in basalts near Sidi Rahal has become famous over the last years for producing exceptional chalcedony and amethyst geodes.
Here is an absolutely unique, dramatic and outstanding specimen of amethyst from the locality, displaying a stunning ball of sparkling plum colour amethyst perimorphs after what was probably a spray of anhydrite needles!
This elegant colourful group stands on a piece of basaltic matrix.
Unique. A Moroccan treasure!
