Limonite , chemically composed of iron oxide and hydroxide, is a mineral that often occurs as a yellow, brown, or orange pigment in the form of spots, layers, or as alluvial minerals in rocks. This mineral is formed by the oxidation and hydration of iron minerals in the presence of water and oxygen. It is often found in iron ores, sedimentary rocks, and as alluvial minerals in soil.
Limonite in crystal is an example where iron oxides and hydroxides form within or on the surface of the crystal matrix. This process can lead to the creation of interesting and richly colored patterns that enhance the aesthetic appearance of the crystal. Geologically, limonite is often associated with processes of alteration and weathering of iron minerals, which can be affected by atmospheric conditions and geological changes in rocks.
