***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Goethite with Galena

Restormel Royal Iron Mine (Trinity Mine), Lostwithiel, St Austell District, Cornwall, England

6.8cm x 4.8cm x 3.7cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, old time example of goethite and galena from Cornwall!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of intergrown sprays of incredibly well crystallized goethite that are partially capped by a network of galena crystals!!! The goethite is present as sharply defined lathes up to an impressive 4cm long!!! The goethite crystals are brilliantly lustrous and loaded with fiery flashes of deep reddish brown within (the crystals actually have a gemminess about them in small areas!)!!! This specimen is simply incredible in person, truly a marvelous example of the species indeed!!! This specimen retains an old unattributed label as well (the label used the antiquated term, Xanthosiderite, a synonym for goethite)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 12th!!!
