Erythrite from Bou Azzer mining district, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco

Going through old photos.... Arguably the world's best Erythrite, this spectacular specimen comes from the iconic Bou Azzer mining district in Morocco. I sourced this exceptional piece about fifteen years ago. While Erythrite is typically found inside small, enclosed vugs, this specimen breaks all the rules. Beyond its exceptional quality and crystal size, it reveals an extraordinary open architecture that is completely out of the norm for the species.
