Botryoidal goethite with well developed concentric-radiating structure and a shiny black surface that is partly overgrown by fine-grained quartz. Small dark brown smoky quartz crystals sit in the centers of the nodules - a classic association at Wheal Drea. Specimen size: 7 x 4.5 x 3.5 cm. Collected by myself in August 2009. P Haas photograph and collection.
