Morocco
Africa
From the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert, Morocco is a land of vivid minerals and timeless geology. Known for its fiery vanadinite, rosy cobaltoan calcite, and desert roses sculpted by nature’s elements.
MINING REGIONS
Mibladen — Vanadinite & Barite
One of the world’s premier sources of vanadinite, the Mibladen mining district near Midelt yields fiery red hexagonal crystals often growing atop pale barite plates. The contrast of color and form makes these specimens true collector pieces, celebrated for their vibrancy and structure.
Bou Azzer — Cobaltoan Calcite & Roselite
Deep in the Anti-Atlas Mountains, the Bou Azzer mining area is famous for rare cobalt minerals such as roselite, erythrite, and calcite-coated crystals. This region has produced some of the most vivid pinks and magentas found in the mineral world.
Touissit — Bou Beker Region
Located near Oujda in the Bou Beker range, Touissit is celebrated for deep-blue azurite and bright vanadinite crystals, often found together in striking formations. This region also produces rare cerussite, barite, and wulfenite — prized by collectors for their clarity and intense color.

Founder’s Note
Collected with Intention
Every crystal begins as an encounter shaped by time and human touch. I personally source each piece, working closely with miners and artisans who handle them with care.
As a photographer and lifelong lover of design, I’m drawn to light, color, and form, the same elements that make crystals feel like natural works of art.
Each piece is photographed in natural light to honor its true texture and energy, a quiet balance of beauty, material, and meaning.

Morocco’s desert climate and mineral-rich geology combine to form deeply saturated stones. Iron, copper, and cobalt create rich reds, oranges, and pinks that make Moroccan specimens some of the most colorful in the world.
We work directly with small-scale miners and family-owned operations across Morocco who hand-extract crystals with care and respect for the land.
Their natural artistry. Many Moroccan stones, like desert roses and vanadinite, form in shapes and hues that look sculpted by hand — yet are entirely formed by nature.
Yes. Morocco is also one of the world’s leading sources of fossils, often discovered alongside mineral deposits in regions like Erfoud and Ouarzazate.
