Hi Doug- That's what I would have thought, too, the limonite would crumble and wash away. I was talking to the person in litforum, and my first guess from her description was galena. We *all* know what color limonite is. Nope, these are honest to God black. On the inside, there are pockets of "limonite brown" all the way to black (and at 17X I would classify some of it as goethite indeed.) – I suspect somewhere in between limonite and goethite, the majority being limonite. Allegedly the way you differentiate the two is by the silky appearance of goethite. I'm not lost, just lurking slowly (g) – for the past month I've had *horrendous* line noise and "Sector not found" errors on most CI$ sessions. Worse, the sectors are there and in good working condition! One time my 'puter even tried to upload my new novel on the CI$ command line! ARGH!!! ……JayDee the L. ("Lost" comes from Gamers Forum. If you knew how I played most games, you'd *know* I'm lost most of the time 🙂
