Description

When it comes to Mibladen everybody thinks about excellent vanadinite, cerussite, barite and wulfenite. Malachite is quite rare (but common in the neighboring Aouli area) and i had not seen noteable specimens before. This one is from a quite recent find made by a friend of mine in the Mibladen area. It consists of green nodular malachite with incrusted sand particles on a reddish probably triassic sandstone. Very interesting and not often seen!
