Llmenite

Limonite is a type of iron ore that is often found in bog deposits and shallow marine environments. It is named after the Greek word for meadow, “leimon,” as it is often found in areas with moist, grassy soils. Limonite is composed of iron oxide minerals, primarily goethite, as well as varying amounts of clay, sand, and other impurities.

Limonite is typically yellow-brown or rust-colored, and has a dull, earthy luster. It is a relatively soft mineral, with a hardness of 4 to 5 on the Mohs scale, and is easily crumbled and weathered. Despite its softness and tendency to crumble, limonite is a valuable source of iron, and has been used for centuries as an iron ore.
