| | Goethite Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Goethite is typically formed under oxidizing conditions as a weathering product of femferous minerals, siderite, pyrite, and magnetite, and is widespread as deposits in bogs. It is commonly associated with hematite, pyrolusite, manganite, calcite, quartz, lepidocrocite, clay minerals, and limonite. Hydrous iron oxide is also called limonite. By x-ray examination, most limonites are actually cryptocrystalline goethite with absorbed or capillary water (Palache, Berman, and Frondel 1944). Several excellent pigment ore sources are found in India. Domestic ochre is mined in Georgia and Virginia. | | Physicochemical properties |

Reaction mechanisms
|
Will form ferrites through solid-state reactions as noted under
hemotite. Can also be converted from αFeOOH.xH20 to αFesO3 by heat and
to ferromagnetic γfe2O3 by reduction and oxidation.
