From an incredible recent find: this amazingly iridescent and colorful cabinet goethite, which formed stalactitically, has botryoidal form on the surface which reflects its pink, red, gold, orange and other colors in every direction. Even the black goethite botryoids are silvery bright. An uncommonly colorful and beautiful form of a common mineral. The stalactite terminations were contacted with the roof of the vug.
