	ZINCITE Chapter 22. Oxides and hydroxides
		Zincite is the least abundant of the three principal ore minerals (willemite, franklinite, and zincite), but is the richest zinc-ore mineral of all here and worldwide.
		Zincite is mobile under certain conditions, and it occurs as veins (Figures 12-7 and 12-8), coatings, blebs (Figures 12-14 and 12-17), and inclusions in other minerals.
		Zincite also occurs as finger-like masses (Figure 12-17), recrystallized masses (Figures 12-35, 12-36, and 12-37), and large, distorted, conical masses in calcite at both deposits (Figure 22-12), as well as in druses and varied vein assemblages which clearly postdate the common ore and in other habits.

	Zincite
		Measurements of natural crystals of zincite are few and poor, and the generally accepted axial ratio for zinc oxide is based on artificial crystals.
		Zincite is commonly massive and granular, foliated, or compact.
		Zincite was the first of the remarkable minerals constituting these deposits to excite scientific interest, and its description and analysis by Dr. Bruce in 1810 (1) constitute one of the earliest mineralogical investigations made in this country.

	Zincite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zincite is the mineral form of zinc oxide (ZnO).
		In nature its crystal form is rare, with the exception of Franklin, New Jersey, an area also known for its fluorescent minerals.
		The zincite found in Franklin, New Jersey is red colored (mostly due to iron and manganese) and associated with willemite and franklinite.

	Re: Franklinite as a detector mineral?? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Zincite is the reddish brown material in Franklinite.
		Natural zincite is usually very deep reddish, almost fl, flaky, crumbly clumps of crystals in the Franklinite, from grain of sand size to big, solid rocks.
		Zincite is used as a detector in a rock-rock junction of it and chalcopyrite (aka peacock ore, fairly common).

	COMP 160 - Molecular modeling of the adsorption of anionic and molecular species to zincite surfaces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		To understand how various adsorbates, including chloride, citrate, and hexamethylene tetramine, might influence crystal growth and morphology, we developed representative periodic supercell models for three zincite growth surfaces, (100), (101), and (001).
		Binding enthalpies are derived from the energy difference between the optimized configuration and one in which the adsorbate is appreciably removed from the surface.
		This result supports the premise that preferential binding of adsorbates, acting as growth inhibitors, may be used to design different zincite morphologies.

	The Crystodyne Principle (1924)
		One may use as the cat-whisker a piece of carbon taken from a broken incandescent lamp, the carbon being a piece of the filament; an ordinary piece of steel wire is also suitable.
		The zincite crystals may be selected but it has been proved by experiment that even a poor crystal is made much better if it is fused in an arc and scraped to remove the outside fl layer which is not a good conductor.
		We shall show in another article how the zincite crystal oscillator may be used for the reception of code signals and radio telephony, and how the same crystal may be utilized as an amplifier and detector.

	Cahnite, Stolzite, Zincite, Ultrabasite
		Crystals of zincite are so infrequent in the only important place of occurrence - Franklin, N. - that any new find of them seems worthy of record and particularly so when they occur in a new form.
		In regard to the zincite crystals, the only information we have on these is that they were found in the combustion laboratory of a furnace operating on the production of French oxide.
		His observation is that if a leak has been present for say 50 to 70 days, then, due to the exposure for so long a time at such a high temperature, this red crystal is formed.

		Franklin, N.J. Zincite, ZnO, is a very rare mineral found in large amounts exclusively at Franklin, N.J., intimately intergrown with franklinite.
		Both zincite and franklinite are highly colored, the zincite possibly by the manganese ion (Palache et al., 1944), the franklinite primarily by the ferric ion.
		Both the ferrous and ferric ions are primarily responsible for the fall- off in reflectivity towards the blue and for the crossover for different particle size samples.
