This area is obviously well known for its Amazonite specimens, but it also produces some superb quality Goethite specimens. At times, these Goethite "balls" are found overgrowing the terminations of Smoky Quartz crystals. This piece features a beautiful, semi-lustrous dark golden-brown spherical aggregate of Goethite perched atop a gemmy prismatic crystal of Quartz (var: Smoky Quartz). Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
