PMR080K-28 Tunisia: Chebika, an abandoned Berber oasis village on the edge of the desert, the former Roman outpost "Ad Speculam". The inhabitants now live in a new village, but return to harvest the date palms. The area is a rich source of minerals for collectors. Here: geodes or druses, lined with quartz crystals, on offer for modest sums. Keywords: Islam, Muslim, Mohammedan, Maghreb, historic, geode, druse, geology, nodule
