Goethite from Roughton Gill, Cumbria

Goethite from Roughton Gill, Caldbeck, Allerdale, Cumbria, England, UK

Very nice quality specimen of black botryoidal Goethite from Roughton Gill, Cumbria.

This piece comes in a 1" perky box, already mounted and glued to the mounting - I'm not a huge fan of this but it is a nice mounting so I've left it as-is and tried to show the mounting in the photos. Stickers on the box for ID/locale. I suspect removing the specimen from the box would cause damage.

Unfortunately, this specimen was simply labelled "Roughten Gill" (sp.) and not 'Roughton Gill Mine'; so the specific locality is not known. It could be from Roughton Gill Mine, or any of the other mines on Roughton Gill.

Comes boxed with our ID label.
