Compared with other goethites from southern Spain, those found in the La Lapilla mine stand out for their delicate latticed growths and very fine arched structures, sometimes almost filamentous, that add to the quality and vivid brilliance of its metallic iridescences, with blue, ocher and reddish reflections, with a predominance of metallic greyish.
The specimen comes from the collection of Andrés Jiménez Shelly.
