5.6 x 4.3 x 2.7 cm This specimen features sharp, lustrous, golden-black "needles" of Goethite forming beautiful crystallized "sprays" which are associated with minor crystals of "Onegite" (Quartz with Goethite inclusions) with a few Smoky Quartz crystals. The piece was collected by Richard Kosnar in the early 1980's, and came to his son Brian in 2007 after Richard died. The piece retains the number BK8 on the bottom, to indicate Brian's collection.
