Mibladen.
Six sides. Endless fascination.

Northeast of Midelt, Mibladen is a district of many workings, not a single mine. Its vanadinite crystals are a familiar starting point for Moroccan mineral collections.

Read the landscape.

Baryte and galena occur in layered deposits hosted by limestone and dolomite. Specimen labels can refer to individual workings within the wider district: keeping that detail makes the record more useful.

The name on the label

Industrial extraction and small-scale specimen collecting belong to different chapters of the district’s history. Names such as ACF refer to specific workings; “Mibladen” alone is a broader attribution.

One question to keep

Does the original label name a particular working, or only the district?
