This is another goethite included crystal.  Nothing extraordinary about it, but the inclusions are what made me keep it.

This crystal came with a bonus on its underside.  The golden rutile at District Drive was a nice bonus.

These are my two best, or favorite, crystals I dug at District Drive.
Your best ain't always your biggest. Wink
These were each dug from separate thin 1" to 2" fissures
filled with mica and mostly quartz with faces. But every once
in awhile all the faces would pop into one small perfect crystal.
And that would be it, just the one, creating its' own little
personal pocket. Both of these are about 1 1/2" long.

Front and then side view of each.
