From an incredible new find. This amazingly iridescent and colorful goethite, which formed as stalactites, has botryoidal form on the surface which reflects its pink, red, gold, orange and other colors in every direction. Almost all of these have pocket contact on both ends, but on this one, 4 of the five rounded "terminations" on top are complete.
