Item Description

An excellent and imposing specimen of lustrous, botryoidal, black goethite pseudomorphing and casting gypsum crystals from Santa Eulalia, Mexico. The sparkly, tiny calcites are a super, bright compliment to the dark goethite. This very fine piece was an early acquisition in the Harold Urish Collection (#156) and is old, choice material. Uncommon in such quality and with real luster. It displays well from either direction.
