Layman's explanation:	Siderite was found by a man named Haidinger in 1845. The word Siderite is derived from the word Sideros, meaning iron in Greek. Siderite is found in many different places all over the world: the United States, Australia, Germany, Peru, and Greenland to name a few. This mineral is used mostly in North America and Germany. Properties of siderite are as follows: it is a carbonate of iron, has a hexagonal crystal structure, has the color grayish-brown when crystals are large, and has the color orange-yellow when crystals are small.
