Goethite Pseudomorph after Magnetite
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
This is a fine example of this classic Utah pseudomorph of Goethite after Magnetite. This one comes from different pocket and from an earlier period at the mine. As opposed to the usual interpenetration cubes that are best-known, there are razor sharp octahedral crystals (to just under 2 cm along the edge). They actually look something like those Bolivian Magnetites.
