Cacoxenite is very often confused with Goethite, especially as an inclusion within Amethyst. Many, if not all of the specimens labelled as containing Cacoxenite golden strands are in fact Goethite, especially those from Brazil. It was first discovered in the Hrbek mines in Bohemia in 1825, in what is now the Czech Republic.
