Item Description

An unusual and very hard to find specimen of Goethite from an undisclosed locality in Siegen, Germany. Stalactitic black spires of Goethite on fill a vug on host rock matrix. Beautiful to view up close, and certainly a great add to a German mineral collection. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#1978). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Velt" November-December 2017).
