Goethite Pseudomorph after Pyrite

This Goethite Ps. Pyrite from Colombia stands out for its intricate and detailed patterns. This piece showcases the precise geometric formations of the original pyrite crystals, now beautifully accented by the deep, metallic hues of goethite. This unique combination of sharp, defined shapes with the natural textures of goethite creates a visually stunning specimen that captures the eye and imagination.

This remarkable specimen originates from the mineral-rich regions of Colombia, a country known for its diverse and abundant mineral deposits. The formation process of Goethite Pseudomorph Pyrite begins with the creation of pyrite, commonly known as “fool’s gold,” which forms in hydrothermal veins under high temperatures and pressures. Over time, under specific environmental conditions, goethite, an iron hydroxide mineral, gradually replaces pyrite. This pseudomorphosis process preserves the crystal shape of the original pyrite while altering its composition to goethite.

Colombian mineral deposits are renowned for their exceptional quality and variety. The geological conditions in these regions, including the presence of hydrothermal systems and rich iron ore deposits, create the perfect environment for the formation of such unique mineral specimens. The intricate patterns and exceptional clarity of these Goethite Pseudomorph Pyrite crystals reflect the distinct geological history and mineral wealth of Colombia.

Owning a piece of Goethite Pseudomorph Pyrite is like holding a piece of geological history. The transformation from pyrite to goethite is a rare and fascinating process, making each specimen a unique record of the Earth’s natural history.

Jewellery Care & 1 Year Warranty

In jewellery form, some crystals are more hardy than others. For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6. Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals. Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. Store safely, and clean with care. Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects. With proper care, we expect your pieces to last many years to come. In our 18 years of business, we still wear some treasures from our original collection! Learn more about our warranty and care guide here.
