Goethite 3 photos with a slightly different views and 3 close ups. Origin: Filón Sur, Tharsis, Huelva, Andalusia, Spain Size: H:9.7cm x W:4.3cm x D:2.2cm A specimen out of a small discovery by an Austria Strahler, found in summer 2014. The locality is in the middle of nowhere. When specimen were found they were crusted with mud and dirt. There is no water at the locality to clean specimen and only 10% of the whole quantity show these amazing colors. So the finder have to transport the whole material and do selection of good pieces after cleaning process. Imagine - 100kg rocks to get 10 fine specimen. The goethite has developed spheres with metallic luster, which shows a wide range of colors. There is red, yellow, violet, green and blue and many different color shades between all these colors. A very eye-catching, well formed and undamaged specimen! Collection, photo & © Mats Ernkell
