Siderite is usually yellowish-brown, brownish-red, or brownish-black, but is sometimes white or gray; it is often found in impure form in beds and nodules (of clay ironstone) in clays and shales and as a directly precipitated deposit partly altered into iron oxides. Siderite is a valuable ore of iron. 5, record 1, English, - siderite

La sidérose est un carbonate de fer [...] qui contient souvent du manganèse, du magnésium et du calcium. [...] On la trouve dans des gisements sédimentaires ou dans des filons d'origine hydrothermale, par action de solutions ferrifères sur des roches calcaires. Des gisements de ce type peuvent avoir une grande importance économique [...] 8, record 1, French, - sid%C3%A9rose
