Limonite |
| 2Fe2O3.3H2O |
| Amorphous |
Limonite is found in massive and ocherous form, commonly as an alteration product of franklinite and magnetite in the deposits of zinc and iron ores. It has been found abundantly only in the calamine deposits of Sterling Hill, where it was associated with chalcophanite and hydrohetaerolite in characteristic forms—coatings, stalactites, and ocherous powder. The character of this alteration is discussed under chalcophanite and calamine. (See pages 53 and 23.)
