GOETHITE

Goethite is an iron oxide mineral commonly found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, often forming as earthy, botryoidal masses or slender crystals. Its rich, brown to golden hues with metallic sheens create a warm, grounding appearance. Historically, Goethite was valued for its protective qualities and was thought to enhance clarity and focus. Metaphysically, it is believed to support strength, stability, and emotional resilience, helping to release fear and self-doubt. A grounding mineral, it encourages patience and perseverance.
