511-9ldgcrs ((GOETHITE pseudomorph after PYRITE)), $15 MINIMUM BID, Unknown location, 5 x 5 x 4 cm, Miniature | |
Here is fine undamaged Goethite pseudo with multiple penetration twins. A couple of micochips show that the inside is solid Pyrite yet and the Goethite is a thin surface covering. Also unusual is that some matrix is still solidly attached. These pseudos that are 1/3 or more Goethite almost always crack over time. This one still almost totally Pyrite shows not sign of cracking. Very nice Pseudo. ex H Desinger collection. |
