Goethite (good quality) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is an excellent specimen from one of the most storied and well known districts in Colorado. The pegmatites near the Lake George area of Colorado have produced what most collectors and dealers consider to be the finest Amazonite specimens from the standpoint of superb color, top quality, wonderful display specimens and excellent associations. This particular specimen has no Amazonite, but it is a wonderful display piece featuring superb, sharp, lustrous, golden-black "blades" of Goethite forming a beautiful crystallized "spray". There is a minor amount of "Onegite" (Amethyst included with Goethite) on the piece as well. The quality is incredibly good for Goethite from the area, and the piece is crystallized all the way around save the back where it detached from the pocket. Crystallized specimens like this are few and far between from Colorado. Valued at $800.
