ZINCITE

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 985 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZINCITE , a
mineral
  consisting of zinc
oxide
  (ZnO), crystallizing in the
hemimorphic
 -hemihedral class of the rhombohedral
system
 . Distinct crystals are of rare occurrence; they have the form of a hexagonal pyramid terminated at one end only by a basal plane. There is a perfect cleavage parallel to the basal plane, and usually the
mineral
  is found as platy foliated masses. The blood-red colour and the orange-yellow streak are characteristic features. The hardness is 4'i, and the specific gravity is 5.6. Some
manganese
  is usually present replacing zinc. It is found in the zinc mines at
Sterling
  Hill and Franklin Furnace in Sussex county, New
Jersey
 , where it is associated with
franklinite
  and
willemite
  in crystalline limestone, and is
mined
  as an ore of zinc. Artificial crystals of a white or yellowish colour are not infrequently formed by sublimation in zinc furnaces.
