Fluorite with Barite
specimen number:
2341259
location:
Jorf, Errachidia, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco
description: Located near Erfoud in the Draa-Tafilalet region of eastern Morocco, Jorf is renowned among mineral enthusiasts for producing distinctive yellow fluorite specimens. The geology of the area features hydrothermal quartz veins cutting through Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, where late-stage low-temperature fluids deposited vibrant fluorite crystals alongside baryte and quartz. Mining in the Jorf district relies largely on small-scale artisanal operations, with local miners hand-excavating deep pits and shafts to extract delicate mineral clusters. Mineral collectors highly prize Jorf fluorite for its intense canary-yellow color, excellent gemmy clarity, and striking combination with lustrous white tabular barite crystals.
An attractive cluster of yellow green color zoned glassy and mostly gemmy fluorite crystals hosting bladed white crystals of barite. Slight damage present as seen.
