Item Description
Gorgeous spectrum of iridescent hues on the botryoids and stalactites on all sides of this sculptural, very vuggy, layered, small cabinet specimen of Goethite/Hematite from famous, extinct Graves Mountain. The piece is a combination of goethite and hematite (once called turgite, but now discouraged). Such iridescent specimens are a signature species along with world-class Rutile and Lazulite from the locale. See the 1985 Mineralogical Record article in Vol. 16, No. 6. Collected by Charly Padget in 2010 and gifted to John Whatley in 2022. Ex John Whatley Collection, a well-known Georgia collector (1939-2022). Dazzling colors and forms on this classic specimen from Graves Mountain. Psychedelic play of colors on this fascinating piece.
