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!!!

most games, you'd *know* I'm lost most of the time 🙂
