Description

From the collection of the Black Forest based collector Herbert Schuler comes this nice specimen of goethite as kidney ore, with almost velvety surface of the botryoidal goethite and some irridescence on the backside. Given locality is Elgersburg, Thuringia. The owner before ( a certain Mr. Schmid from Haslach i.K.) had put a label with that on the backside. The locality is a bit doubtful.
