Siderite
Siderite is a member of the calcite group of carbonates along with rhodochrosite and Smithsonite. Siderite is a minor ore of iron. Its name derives from sideros, the Greek word for iron. Looking profoundly different from the sample above, this siderite is from Baia Sprie, Crisana-Maramures, Romania and measures about 12x14 cm.

Impact of chemical weathering on micro/macro-mechanical properties …
From a macroscopic point of view, it is really easy to distinguish healthy (i.e., intact) iron ore from aged (70–100 years) iron ore. Intact iron ore (taken in a zone without mining workings or in a zone where they cross the center of pillars) has a green/gray color due to the large amount of Fe 2+ in the inter-oolithic cement (siderite and berthierine).

Direct hydrogen reduction of siderite ore bypasses the conventional route of calcination and reduction in the blast furnace, as elemental iron is formed directly from the iron carbonate. This results in a CO2 emission reduction of ≥60%. The process gas can be further upgraded by the formation of reduced carbon species.
