Goethite, Quartz
Bou Tazoult, Imini area, Amerzgane Caïdat, Amerzgane Cercle, Ouarzazate Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco
A cool opened geode containing jet-black needels of goethite sitting on pyramidal quartz crystals from Bou Tazoult, Morocco. The piece is one of only a few of these specimens that I've seen, and is very attractive in person. Ex. Paolo Matioli Collection. Note: Goethite is not listed on Mindat for this locality.
