History: A group of stones found together about 30 km north of Tichia, southern Morocco at 24.502°N, 13.767°W (within the Talhat Lihoudi dense collection area) was initially offered by the finders for purchase jointly by Adam Aaronson and Ahmad Bouragaa in December 2019. Although a sample was provided for analysis, the owners and potential buyers of the stones could not reach an agreement. Subsequently in September 2020 Rachid Chaoui and Jaouad Chaoui purchased the entire batch of stones from the finders, and provided the additional type material and GPS coordinates of the find site.
