Goethite with "Onegite" (great quality) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is a fine specimen little 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 sharp, lustrous, golden-black to almost silvery "blades" and "ball" of Goethite forming a beautiful crystallized group which are associated with minor "Onegite" (Amethyst with Goethite inclusions). The reverse side of the specimen shows and unusual, but very distinct "cast" after what is most likely Siderite. For the size, quality and aesthetics, this piece is a fantastic little Goethite that would fit nicely into any collection. Crystallized specimens like this are few and far between from Colorado.
