Item Description
We've had a few of these amazing Goethite specimens over the last few years coming out of China from new discoveries, but not quite as large or dramatic as this cabinet specimen from the Kurt Hefendehl collection! From his records, we guess that he purchased it in the early 2000s. It is a very statuesque and sculptural piece with amazing iridescence that is hard to describe in words, so please see the video. It has both amazing rounded, almost organic form with a spectacular array of metallic, iridescent red-orange and bronze-green colors, almost like an opalized ammonite fossil. It's one of the most amazing-looking rocks you'll ever want to see and it's much more flashy and colorful in person! It shimmers with amazing and difficult to describe colors and effects that make it look almost unreal! This is certainly one of the few examples of this species that, in our minds, ranks as a significant display specimen. Custom base included. Valued $4500-6000.
