Goethite and calcite make a striking pair, earthy to metallic goethite against luminous calcite crystals, and this cluster is compact enough to sit in your palm.
It is a lovely small addition to a mineral collection, a curiosity cabinet or a desk. Goethite is named after the writer Goethe, which makes it a fun conversation piece for book lovers too. It is a thoughtful gift for a rock hound or science fan. This is the exact specimen shown. A small display box or riser will show it off nicely.
The cluster is about 2.5 by 1.5 by 1 inches and weighs about 40 grams. Its tiny size makes it easy to tuck into a shadow box.
Goethite is an iron oxide hydroxide and the main component of rust, ranging from yellowish to dark brown or black. It was named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and first described in 1806. Calcite is a soft calcium carbonate mineral.
Stone Meaning: Goethite is traditionally associated with grounding and renewal.
