Description
Tarnowitzite is the familiar name for Plumboan (lead-rich) Aragonite. It is uncommon, with good crystals being known from under 20 localities worldwide. This hefty specimen from Morocco has well-developed crystals to 3 cm, clustered very nicely across the matrix. The cream-colored Tarnowitzites are actually two-toned, with lighter caps (a very desirable characteristic of good Tarnowitzite). The glistening luster adds greatly to the aesthetics of this fine Moroccan Tarnowitzite. Straw-yellow fluorescence. An important and rare specimen from old finds here in Morocco!

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
