Exceptional pseudomorphed cluster from Lavrion consisting of  numerous long and tubular, well formed silvery lustrous Goethite crystals replacing Gypsum crystals that got disolved over time. On the backside Goethite has crystallized also in a lustrous botryoidal habit. Very high quality aerial and structural specimen with multiple view angles and display possibilities! A rare and very aesthetic crystallization which is not coming out from Lavrion anymore.
