Limonite after Pyrite from Albemarle, USA
Pseudomorph of limonite after pyrite from the area around Albemarle, NC.
Limonite after Pyrite from Albemarle, Montgomery County, North Carolina, USA
Might not be something you've come across before - this is a pseudomorph of limonite after pyrite.
Pseudomorphism essentially means one mineral has replaced the other but retained the shape of the mineral it has replaced. In this case, limonite has replaced a pyrite cube.
Unfortunately no more specific information than 'Albemarle' was given as locale information. Comes mounted in a box with info label; unfortunately these boxes are of a very low quality and will scratch if a butterfly sneezes in India, so it would benefit from remounting.
