Geologic Occurrence. Limonite usually occurs as a secondary material, formed from the weathering of hematite, magnetite, pyrite, and other iron-bearing materials.Limonite is often stalactitic, reniform, botryoidal, or mammillary in habit, rather than crystalline.It also occurs as pseudomorphs and coatings on the walls of fractures and cavities.Web

In the Earth, iron occurs mainly in iron-oxide ores. One of these ores is lodestone, or magnetite, named for its property of magnetism. Hematite is the most plentiful ore, but it contains less iron than magnetite. Limonite and siderite are less abundant ores of iron. Iron, alloyed with nickel, is also found in meteorites. (See also mineral.)Web

Nevertheless, its iron content is higher. The binary basicity (MgO/SiO 2) of limonite and saprolite is 0.14 and 0.41, respectively. Higher basicity in saprolite ore is due to its higher magnesium and silicon oxide content. From XRD analysis, as shown in Fig. 1, all of the nickel in limonite is associated with iron hydroxide, i.e., goethite. In ...Web

Magnetic roasting of Guyang limonite by using biomass as reducing agent could promote the formation of ferromagnetic (Fe 3 O 4). During roasting process, the iron-bearing materials in the limonite would first become α-Fe 2 O 3 after dehydration at high temperature, and then α-Fe 2 O 3 was reduced to Fe 3 O 4 by biomass reduction.Web

Ferrous iron (Fe 2+) is the absorbable form of iron by the intestinal epithelial cells, and the limonite iron is in ferric oxide (Fe 3+) form. 38 Therefore, it is not surprising that mice taking oral limonite have no iron overload. Change in the plasma level GLP-1 also appears unrelated to the beneficial effects of adding limonite to the diet.Web
