Goethitt

Goethite på kvarts fra Restormel Royal Iron Mine (Trinity Mine), i Cornwall, England

Goethitt er et meget utbredt, brunlig jern-mineral. Det er kjemisk et jernhydroksid, α-FeOOH, med rombisk symmetri. Lepidokrokitt, γ-FeOOH, er et annet mineral med samme kjemiske sammensetning, men med en annen krystallstruktur (se polymorfi). Goethitt dannes for en stor del ved forvitring og oksidasjon av andre jernholdige mineraler. Det er en viktig bestanddel i brunjernstein (minettemalmer; jernoolitter) og i myrmalm, og forekommer dessuten i den «jernhatt» som ofte dannes i oksidasjonssonen over en jernmalm.

Jordaktige materialer, som oker, rust, limonitt og lateritt, inneholder goethitt i vekslende mengder, ofte tilblandet noe lepidokrokitt. Goethitt kan også opptre i mer velkrystallisert form som primært hydrotermalmineral, f.eks. i Oslofeltets kontaktforekomster.

Mineralet er oppkalt etter Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.[1]
