Description

Goethite and bright yellow Limonite from Lavrion Greece! Very unusual and highly aesthetic aggregate of Goethite plates attached together in a bizarre way by Calcite. The Limonite on one side is richly colored and has a thickness of about 3mm. On the other side the Goethite has some irridescence. Beautiful specimen that comes from an old collection!
