SMITHSONITE
Most of the zinc minerals in nature are sphalerite, and the output of zinc halite is less.It can be used as semi-precious jewelry except for extracting zinc, which is translucent green or green blue.
Basic information
smithsonite
Calamine is the most common zinc oxide mineral. It usually comes in two types: iron-bearing and non-iron-bearing. It is in the form of soil and spring bloom, with few dense cryptic morphology.When the iron in ferrite is oxidized, it will gradually decompose into a mixture of calamine and lignite. The minerals are in fine particle symbiosis. In this case, calamine is polluted by lignite.Zinc-containing clay or kaolin is formed by adsorption of various highly dispersed materials such as clay, iron ore, etc.Non - ferrous calamine belongs to trigonal crystal system with rhombohedral structure.
Crystals: rhombohedral, partial triangular
Aggregate type: blocky, grape-like, granular, stalactite, renal
Hardness: 4-4.5
Cleavage/fracture: rhombohedral cleavage, {1011}
Cleavage: incomplete;Jagged to conchoidal fracture
Gloss: glass or pearl
Color: white, gray, yellow (yellow grain), blue, green, brown and pink
Stripes: white
Specific gravity: 4.3 to 4.45
Others :(1) often curved crystal surface (2) transparent to translucent (3) yellow containing cadmium, also known as Turkey oil (TurkeyFatOre)
The chemical characteristics of
Chemical composition: ZnCO3;ZnO64.90 %, CO235.10 %;
Chemical classification: carbonate
Chemical properties: dissolve in cold hydrochloric acid and produce bubbles
The wild occurrence
It is produced in the oxidation zone of lead-zinc ore deposits, which is produced by the oxidation decomposition of zinc sphalerite, metasomatism carbonate surrounding rocks or calcite in primary ores. It is a secondary mineral in the oxidation zone, and it often co-exists with minerals such as malachite, azurite, heteropolar, phosphor-chlorite, zinc hydrate, galena and white lead.
Cold HCl blistering
Optical properties of
A crystal axis (-), Ne = 1.625, No = 1.85, bire = 0.2250
Identification of characteristics
It is characterized by its morphology, occurrence and frothing of its powder and cooled hydrochloric acid. It is different from other bensubgroup minerals in that its specific gravity is large, its rhombohedral cleavage is incomplete, and its hardness and specific gravity are both large.
The name of the source
Named after James mithson (1754-1829), a British mineralogist and founder of the Smithsonian institution in Washington, USA.

use
A raw material for the extraction of zinc
translucent green or green blue, can be used as decoration
zinc calamine is a traditional Chinese medicine, known as calamine, has the effect of convergence and anticorrosion.It is carbonate mineral zinc ore, mainly containing zinc carbonate, pink powder, easy texture, insoluble in water.Calamine lotion, a commonly used topical preparation, is prepared with calamine as the main component, supplemented by zinc oxide and glycerin and distilled water.
This drug has good heat dissipation, antipruritic, astringent and protective effects, and is applied to acute dermatitis without exudation due to flushing, swelling and pruritus, as well as skin diseases such as urticaria, summer dermatitis and sunburn.
The causes of Genetic occurrence: it is produced in the oxidation zone of lead-zinc ore deposits. It is formed from zinc sulfate produced by the oxidation decomposition of sphalerite, metasomatism carbonate surrounding rocks or calcite in primary ores, and is often associated with secondary minerals such as malachite and azurite.
Pharmacological effects
This product is carbonate mineral calcite calamine, mainly containing zinc carbonate.After digging, wash, dry, remove miscellaneous stones.
Gan, ping.Belong to the stomach.
Function and attending
Detoxification Ming eye back yi, wet anti - pruritic collect sore.Used for eye red swelling and pain, eye catching red rot, pyan pterygium, not collected ulcer, dripping pus, wet sores, pruritus.
storage
Leave in a dry place.

attending
Eyes suddenly red and swollen.Calamine (fire calcining, urine quenching), wind fire elimination, and so on.Take a little at a time, add water and mix well.
all kinds of film.Calamine with furnace, alum, plain nitrite, and so on into the end.Melt one teaspoon at a time in boiling water and allow to cool slightly. Use to wash eyes.Wash three times a day.
All eye diseases.With calamine half catty, add file into small pieces of copula two, put in a crock, boil two boil.Remove coptis, take calamine powder alone, add a brain two and a half.Grind well and store in small crock.Use a little bit at a time.Many times are good.Prescription: calciner one coin, pot one coin, a total of fine research.Hot blisters wash the eyes.
all diseases in the eye (see things like five wheels eight outline).Calamine half jin with calamine calamine, calcining, grinding;Take another rhizoma coptidis siliang, slice and soak gan shi fen in frying water, after clarifying, take powder and dry.When used, each time to take this furnace gan shi fen three points, plus lead powder (after immersion in erlian water and then fry) three points, realgar powder a point, a half point brain, a total of evenly, point.Is very effective.
Dim eyes.Four taels of calamine (calcined by fire, and then quenched seven times), ochre (calcined by fire, and quenched seven times with vinegar) and lead Dan (water-flown) were used respectively.Take half a catty of honey and try it out in a copper pot. Add five or six bowls of water.
two eyes rotten edge, tears in the wind.Use calamine furnace (fire calcining, tong will quench seven times) two, put on the ground to poison for three days, after fine point.
Wash eyes with pepper soup before ordering.Sleep three or four times, the next morning, warm tea wash.Another prescription: furnace bitter stone (fire calcining) a jin, with huanglian two decoction water quenching seven times.
Grind tired calamine, add piece brain a little, dot eye.In addition, its parts are: calamine and gypsum, with its cuttlebone by three parts, and its parts by a few pieces of its brain, musk and its eye.And square: first with coptifolium one or two fry water, join tong then half bowl, fry again, join piao ni2 again, fry again.Take calamine erliang furnace, fire calcining into the first system of quenching water.After quenching, calcining, calcining again, repeated seven times, grind to fine powder.Add the monk of miduo one or two, grind together hind store, use when dot eye.
Sparse teeth.Calamine (calamine calciner), plaster, etc., can be used as the end.Teeth grow thick with time.
Chancre.Use calamine (fire calcining, vinegar quenching five times) one or two, three qian haier tea, a total of research for the end, adjust sesame oil, apply the wound.
