Item Description

Goethite is a fairly common mineral around the world, but good crystallized specimens are certainly few and far between around the world. This is a wonderful display piece featuring fine quality, sharp, lustrous, silvery "sprays" of Goethite on matrix. This is the only specimen of this material that we've had to offer from this locality, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value. You can read Joe's biography here: http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=1371 The label states that these Goethites are a "Czech Classic" and that Goethite is "very rare in crystal form"
