| Description |
|
| Comments: | Goethite albeit oxidised is the source of all the limonite and fresh mammilations are visible on breaking limonite rocks. The hemimorphite appears to form on the goethite indicating it was first in the paragenesis. It usually forms mammilations when associated with hemimorphite or else stalatitic botryoids when it is by itself. |
| Habit: | Botryoidal, Mammilated, Stalactitic |
| Colour: | Black |
