Feroxyhyte and lepidocrocite are both polymorphs of the iron oxyhydroxide FeO ( OH ).
Other minerals, including gypsum, illite, kaolinite, and lepidocrocite also appear in coal balls, albeit in lesser quantities.
In oxidizing environment, green rust generally turns into oxyhydroxides, namely ?-( goethite ) and ?-( lepidocrocite ).
The structure of lepidocrocite is similar to the boehmite structure found in bauxite and consists of layered iron ( III ) oxide octahedra bonded by hydrogen bonding via hydroxide layers.
Although originally defined as a single mineral, limonite is now recognized as a mixture of related hydrated iron oxide minerals, among them goethite, akaganeite, lepidocrocite, and jarosite.
The mineral is unstable in air, and decomposes by oxidation, dehydration and decarbonation, to ferrihydrite, and ultimately to lepidocrocite or goethite, Fe 3 + O ( OH ).
In one experiment, a 160 mM suspension of orange lepidocrocite ?-in a solution containing formate ( ), incubated for 3 days with a culture of " S . putrefaciens ", turned dark green due to the conversion of the hydroxide to GR ( ), in the form of hexagonal platelets with diameter ~ 7 �m.

noun.

a red to reddish brown mineral consisting of iron oxide hydroxide; often found in iron ores together with goethite
