Item Description
A beautiful association specimen from this well-known locality in Alabama. The piece features excellent, sharp, rather lustrous, gemmy, purple colored crystal "sprays" of Strengite sitting atop contrasting black, botryoidal, almost "velvety" Goethite on matrix. The piece is best seen with magnification, and we've photographed the piece with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
