Item Description
A classic and very showy goethite specimen from Colorado. Connected, radiating clusters of lustrous, black to earthy-brown, goethite blades form this excellent piece. Close examination of the goethite blades reveals the extremely high luster, AND brown GEMMINESS to some of the blades. This excellent specimen is from a recent find at the Dreamtime Mine in Teller County and has many display possibilities, as you can see. The sculptural specimen was expertly collected, with very minimal damage overall. Valued at $130 by the former owner, Adam Sotomayor, who collected it.
