Product Overview
Limonite, also known as goethite, is an iron hydroxide mineral, a chemistry that is apparent from the mineral's rusty ochre color. This mineral was used extensively as pigment for yellow, red, and orange dyes, going back all the way to Neolithic cave paintings. In a classroom, limonite is useful for lessons in mineral chemistry and identification.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Pack of 12. Each set is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
