((3 GOETHITE pseudomorph after PYRITE)), $10 MINIMUM

Miniatures, These pyritahedral pseudos were found west of the
original cubic pseudos commercially open pit mined by John Holfert.
Here are 3 similar sized clusters without any damage that I seem with an
optivisor. But these are uncleaned as found. These were not
even washed because much of the clay is nearly a powder and will easier
clean up with only a washing but I wanted to leave these as is.
There will also probably be some of the creases that will be a bit
harder to remove the clay. But I do not think these will be
anything like the cubic specimens which are a challenge and a half to
clean. The clay on those is very hard to remove even with a water
gun. I think these are a snap with a water gun. Probably
even easy with a toothbrush.
Or keep as is for a contrast.

These are a rare variety of Garnet found at Magnet Cove. Type locality

is the same formation as the Kemzey Calcite Quarry but slightly
different locality in Magnet Cove. ex Clyde Hardin who colllected
Perovskite Hill in the 1970s and 1980s. Several years ago I purchased
the bulk of the Clyde Hardin collection and have been selling it at shows
for several years. I did not get most of the Rutile, Kimzeyite, Rutile
paramorphs after Brookite, and Brookite into the shows yet concentrating on
selling magnetite, perovskite, Quartz, variscite, turquoise, anatase, and
Wavellite. But by volumn 70 to 80 percent of the collection has been
sold.
