Vanadinite from Touissit, Morocco
Touissit vanadinite is the quieter, more mineralogically complicated Moroccan classic. It does not trade on the blazing cherry-red drama of Mibladen; its appeal is subtler and, for many serious collectors, more intriguing. The best Touissit pieces show robust hexagonal prisms and barrel-shaped crystals in olive, butterscotch, tan, bronze-brown, smoky yellow, burnt orange, and cream-white tones, commonly with a silvery or dusty surface sheen and occasional zoning. Fine examples have the look of aged metal or polished old honey rather than candy-red brilliance.
