Description

Goethite and Aragonite from Lavrion Greece! Very beautiful piece which is a floater with a multitude of delicate Goethite elongated crystals covered with a translucent to opaque Aragonite, sort of cimenting the fragile Goethite columns enclosed inside the Aragonite! The pictures do not do justice to the wonderful aesthetics of this specimen.
