Mindat has a slew of information about various minerals and their locations. I took a dig on Pinite and this is what I found : Pinite: Pinite mineral information and data.

Pinite appears to be a replacement mineral after a primary one has decomposed. A similar material Goethite, also called Devils Dice in Australia, is also a replacement mineral usually after pyrite. Penite appears to by composed of mica's however.

Your pictures don't seem to resemble the mineral... but I'm just taking a quick read on them. What are the characteristics of whats displayed?
