1" to 2" Goethite Pseudomorphs After Pyrite - Morocco
These are intriguing aggregations of cubic pyrite that underwent surface alteration to goethite, giving the exterior of the crystals their dark color. They measure anywhere from 1" to 2" wide, with most being right in between. The pictures are representative of the specimen(s) you will receive, so there will be variation in shape from specimen to specimen.

About Goethite
Goethite is an iron-bearing hydroxide mineral composed primarily of iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH)). It commonly forms as a weathering product of iron-rich minerals and is one of the primary components of rust and limonite. Goethite often develops in botryoidal, stalactitic, or massive forms, though it can also occur as acicular or needle-like crystals. Its color ranges from yellow-brown to reddish-brown or black, with a dull to submetallic luster. This mineral is widespread in soil and sedimentary environments and frequently associated with hematite, magnetite, and quartz. Named after the German poet and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, goethite has been used historically as a pigment and remains a significant iron ore in some regions.
