[Rockhounds] Micro goethite

[larryrush at att.net]

I have  found a box in my basement (no surprise  about that.if you could see
my basement, you would understand), with about 50 or so pieces of
calcite/smoky quartz from the Cinque Quarry in CT. These all were put aside
many years ago, as possible micro specs. They mostly have goethite balls
adhering to calcite XLs, and, with luck, some have micro needles of goethite
which originate in a clear quartz crystal and extrude from a crystal face of
same. I can't vouch that there are any (or many) of those type left, but, if
you are a MMer, you are welcome to the whole lot, in exchange for a specimen
of your choice, whatever you feel they are worth to you.
