Sweet specimens Mike! You have some really nice looking Goethite on your claim! Love the combos, especially the one you held up to the light.......Amethyst color showed right away. Very cool, never seen Amethyst with Goethite before....Excellent find! Shame the one Goethite broke, it had a great shape going on. You clean yours with a textile gun? That's how we clean ours and it seems to work really well.
Great example of how cool Colorado's Goethite is, thanks for sharing the video with us. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

You clean yours with a textile gun? No, but it is on the list of things to get along with a lapidary unit/trim saw. They cleaned up kinda nice with the soapy water and gentle toothbrushing. Some of the terminations are thin blades, so I was very careful. -------------------- |
