'Spaceship' with Limonite ± Goethite crystals3D ModelNoAI
Locality: Elba Island, Italy
No.: 5348
Size: 7.5 x 4.6 x 0.8 cm
Formula: mixture of hydrated Fe-Oxides - FeO(OH) · nH2O
Description: Limonite is not a true mineral, as it lacks a definitive chemical formula and crystal structure, but a mixture of similar hydrated iron oxide minerals. Most of limonite is made up of Goethite. Massive Goethite and Limonite can be indistinguishable. Limonite forms mostly in or near oxidized iron and other metal ore deposits, and as sedimentary beds. Limonite has been known to pseudomorph other minerals such as Pyrite, Marcasite, Siderite, etc.; meaning it replaces a crystal of pyrite with limonite but keeps the shape of the pyrite crystal.
