From "Compendium of Materia Medica" 3.2 Pinyin name

Shé Hán Shí 3.3 English name

Limonite 3.4 Alias ??of Limonite

Source of Limonite and Limonite 3.5

Medicinal material source: oxide Nodules of the mineral limonite.

Latin plant and animal mineral names: Pyrite; Limonite

Harvesting and storage: Remove soil impurities after harvesting. 3.6 Original form

1. The crystal structure of pyrite belongs to the equiaxed crystal system; the one with the same composition and belonging to the orthorhombic crystal system is called marcasite; the two are homogeneous polymorphic variants, both It's FeS2. Nodules, crystals or fine-grained individuals are arranged radially and have a concentric ring structure. The fresh surface is light brass color, metallic luster, hardness 66.5, relative density 4.95.2. The weathered surface is purple-brown or brown-yellow, with an earthy luster, and its hardness and relative density are reduced.

Marcaite has a hardness of 56 and a relative density of 4.9. It is hard and brittle in nature and has an uneven cross-section. The surface of weathered limonite is brown or yellowish brown at the edge of the section, and the core is the same as pyrite (or marcasite).

2. Limonite, amorphous. Often formed into grape-shaped, kidney-shaped, ***-shaped, massive, soil-shaped and other aggregates. The color is brown to black, or yellowish brown or yellow if it is earthy. The streaks are yellowish brown. Semi-metallic luster or earthy luster, sometimes silky luster. opaque. The cross-section is shell-like or earth-like. Hardness 15.5. Specific gravity 3.64.0. 3.7 Habitat distribution

Ecological environment: 1. Commonly found in sedimentary rocks and oxidation zones of metallic minerals.

2. It is mainly formed by oxidative decomposition of iron-containing minerals and then hydrolysis and accumulation.

Resource distribution: 1. Produced in Shanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Guangdong, Sichuan and other places.

2. The main producing areas are Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Henan. 3.8 Characteristics

Characteristic identification: This product is a granular or nodular aggregate. It is spherical, oval or irregular in shape. Diameter 1.54.5cm. Brown or brown. The surface is rough, with dense cube-shaped protrusions, and is often covered with a layer of dark yellow powder that stains the fingers when touched. Weight, hard texture. The smashed section is radial or has concentric rings; the outer layer is dark in color, brown or brownish-yellow (for the limonite part); and has an earthy luster. The central core layer is lighter in color, copper-yellow, light yellow or gray-yellow (which is the pyrite part), and has a metallic luster. It has a slight sulfur smell and a light taste.

Microscopic identification: Under reflective polarizer: light brass color. It is common to see spherulite aggregates under crossed polarizers. The spherule size is about 0.06mm and is often filled in cavities. Therefore, nodules observed by reflected light can be roughly divided into colloidal pyrite and microcrystalline spherulite marcasite. The former is often distributed in cavities or fissures. Iron oxide is still seen in the cracks, and pyrite is a homogeneous body.

Marcasite reflectance: visual value: green: 52; orange: 45.25; red: 44.5. The double reflection is clear, strong heterogeneity, and the spherical particles are parallel to the cross extinction.

The surface layer of limonized pyrite nodules has been weathered into limonite; it appears red or brown under reflected light. The interior is often pyrite or marcasite, and its characteristics are the same as above. 3.9 Chemical composition

The limonite part is mainly water-containing ferric oxide (2Fe2O3·3H2O), which is mostly impure and has variable water content. It is often mixed with sand, clay, manganese, Phosphorus, calcium, vanadium and other impurities. Pyrite mainly contains iron sulfide (FeS2). 3.10 Identification

(1) Take 0.2g of this product powder, add 10ml of dilute hydrochloric acid, shake, filter, and test the filtrate according to the following method: ① Take 2ml of the filtrate, add potassium ferrocyanide dropwise and test liquid, a dark blue precipitate is formed; when separated, the precipitate is insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid, but when sodium hydroxide test solution is added, it decomposes into a brown precipitate. (Check iron salt) ② Take 2ml of the filtrate and add ammonium thiocyanate test solution dropwise, which will turn blood red. (Check iron salt) (2) X-ray diffraction analysis curve The curve characteristics show that the raw product is mainly composed of pyrite, 4.22(4), 3.14(2), 2.72(10), 2.43(5). Converts to hematite after forging, 3.72(2), 2.71(140), 2.53(8).

(3) Differential thermal analysis curve: The raw product absorbs heat at 319°C (small). 390°C (micro), 610°C (large), 665°C (micro); heat release 705°C (small). There is slight weight gain between 0130℃, 130390℃, 390610℃, and weight loss after 670℃. 3.11 Processing
