Scientific Information: Limonite (FeO(OH)) is often found as a pseudomorph after pyrite, where the original pyrite crystal structure is replaced by limonite over time. This process occurs due to the oxidation of iron sulfides. The resulting crystals maintain the pyrite's cubic shape but adopt limonite's earthy, reddish-brown hues. This pseudomorphic transformation adds a fascinating layer of scientific and visual interest to the specimen.
Photos: The photos are taken in a set with strong lighting to highlight the specimen’s natural color. It is recommended to keep the mineral in well-lit places to best appreciate its color and texture.
Crystal Therapy: Limonite is believed to promote grounding and stability, while pyrite is associated with protection and confidence. The combination of these minerals is thought to support physical and emotional resilience, making this specimen ideal for energy balance.
Shipping: Shipping is typically carried out the day after the order is placed, with tracking and careful attention to packaging. Orders from the same customer are grouped, and any excess shipping costs are refunded within the package or by other agreed means.
