It isn’t a distinct mineral species in its own right but is generally described as an iridescent mixture of hematite (Fe?O?) and goethite (FeOOH) formed by alteration of iron minerals. This combination produces a vibrant, rainbow-like sheen on botryoidal or textured surfaces that makes it especially popular with collectors. Fine turgite specimens show shimmering colors—reds, greens, purples, and blues—caused by light interference on microscopic layers of iron oxides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Lemuria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51318310207704,"sku":"120DS1449","price":71.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6826\/0669\/files\/DS1449.png?v=1769806651","url":"https:\/\/littlelemuria.com\/products\/iridescent-goethite-turgite-from-mexico-120ds1449","provider":"Little Lemuria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
