Mineral background
Goethite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Goethite specimens
Look for brown, black, golden, botryoidal or needle-like surfaces. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Golden lustre, botryoidal form and interesting locality details help value.
Care and handling
Keep dry and dust gently.
