Item Description

A showy goethite specimen from Colorado. Connected, radiating clusters of lustrous, black to earthy-brown, goethite blades form this excellent piece. This fine piece has character, as the sprays are perpendicular to each other. 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 and has many display possibilities, as you can see. The sculptural specimen was expertly collected, with very minimal damage overall. Highly representative of the species and locality.
