Comment: Very interesting dendritic formation of Hollandite / Goethite, with a small (to 2mm) Vanadinite crystal perched on one 'branch'. The dendritic form itself is curious, on one side it is predominantly smooth, on the other minor botryoidal form is visible. Sits well for display!
Minerals: Goethite (Fe+++O(OH)) Hollandite (Ba(Mn++++,Mn++)8O16) Vanadinite (Pb5(VO4)3Cl)
