Limonite is an iron ore consisting of a mixture of hydrated iron(III) oxide-hydroxides in varying composition. The generic formula is frequently written as FeO(OH)·nH2O, although this is not entirely accurate as the ratio of oxide to hydroxide can vary quite widely. Limonite is one of the two principal iron ores, the other being hematite, and has been mined for the production of iron since at least 2500 BCE.
Limonite is named from the Greek word for meadow (λειμών), in allusion to its occurrence as bog iron ore in meadows and marshes. In its brown form it is sometimes called brown hematite or brown iron ore. In its bright yellow form it is sometimes called lemon rock or yellow iron ore.
Limonite is relatively dense with a specific gravity varying from 2.7 to 4.3. It varies in colour from a bright lemony yellow to a drab greyish brown. The streak of limonite on an unglazed porcelain plate is always brownish, a character which distinguishes it from hematite with a red streak, or from magnetite with a black streak. The hardness is variable, but generally in the 4 - 5.5 range.

Mineral Collecting in Virginia: Limonite Cubes aka “Devils Dice” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the Dig: We decided to go out last week and do some collecting for the well-known Limonite cubes that can be found in Virginia! Limonite cubes are pseudo-morphs after pyrite. This means that it has replaced what used to be pyrite previously! The external appearance of the old pyrite cube remains essentially the same, but the composition has been altered. The locals in this area, as well as others across the world, refer to these cubes as “devils dice.” This gloomy name is given to these mysterious rocks due to their strange man-made look and dark metallic to earthy luster! Like many occurrences, preservation a...

Crushing up some limonite samples from an old mine site looking for gold. Also, crushed some granite.
Found a nice vein of Oxidized Gold Ore in an old mine. The old timers chased a horse tail (stringer) that must have played out, as the back wall of the mine is host rock. But many years later, someone came in and punched a hole in the wall, revealing the original vein of quartz, many feet across in places. We're taking samples from a mineralized vein within this Quartz body.
Quick vid showing a new spot with Great Gold in Limonite that we blasted out using a Sierra Blaster. Easy and affordable way to get the Gold out. http://www.sierrablaster.com/ Please Show your Support by clicking on the Link. https://www.patreon.com/askJeffWilliams
Interesting name right? Don't underestimate this stone! It works in combination with a lot of other stones! I recommend you put Limonite by your door, it automatically pushes away negative influences from your home.
