Botryoidal limonite, goethite. golden nodules. - Height: 116 mm - Width: 90 mm- 302 g - (1)

Botryoidal limonite and goethite form earthy, often golden-colored nodules with rounded, grape-like shapes that are characteristic of their botryoidal habit. Limonite itself is a generic term for hydrous iron oxides, commonly forming under oxidizing conditions as iron-rich minerals weather. Goethite is a specific iron oxyhydroxide mineral contributing to limonite's composition and often exhibits a metallic to dull luster. These minerals are important as iron ores and are valued for their distinctive textures and colors in mineral specimens. The described nodules measuring 116 mm tall and 90 mm wide showcase the typical golden nodular surface that can be attractive to collectors and educational for illustrating iron oxide mineralogy and secondary mineral formation processes in soils and oxidized zones of ore deposits.
