Goethite with Calcite Geode Mineral Specimen

$15.00
Sold Out

Description

This gorgeous character-rich specimen features dense, dark goethite with scattered, sharply formed calcite crystals emerging from natural pockets and seams in the matrix. The goethite displays deep charcoal to black tones with subtle metallic sparkle, while the calcite introduces sparkling, translucent highlights that catch the light with absolute brilliance.

This specimen has excellent surface complexity—layered textures, natural cavities, and contrasting mineral phases that give it a luxurious, geological presence.

Dimensions & Weight

1.75” x 1.5” x 1.5”
90 g

Metaphysical Properties

Goethite is often associated with grounding, stability, and emotional resilience, while calcite is traditionally linked to mental clarity and energetic amplification. Together, they are thought to support balance between grounding energy and focused awareness.

Collector’s Notes

This specimen is ideal for collectors who appreciate natural form. The calcite appears in well-placed crystal groupings rather than broad coverage, allowing the goethite’s mass and texture to remain the dominant visual element. A strong representative example of Mexican goethite at a highly displayable, cabinet-friendly size.

Highlights

  • Dense, dark goethite with metallic luster

  • Natural calcite crystal pockets and seams

  • Excellent texture and geological character

  • Excellent sparkle

  • Highly Collectible 

Mineralogy

Goethite is an iron oxyhydroxide mineral that forms in oxidizing environments, often as a secondary mineral replacing earlier iron-rich phases. Its dark coloration and varied surface textures make it a cornerstone mineral for collectors of iron oxides. Calcite, a calcium carbonate, commonly forms in hydrothermal and sedimentary settings and frequently overgrows earlier minerals, recording later stages of fluid activity and mineral deposition.
