Definition
1. A mineral consisting of hydrated zinc silicate (2ZnO. SiO2.H2O). It is also known as hemimorphite. 2. Zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), which occurs naturally as a mineral also known as smithsonite. The carbonate is used medicinally in suspension as a soothing lotion for sunburn and skin complaints. Formerly, the natural mineral was used for this but now medicinal calamine is made by precipitating a basic zinc carbonate from a solution of a zinc salt. It is usually colored pink by the addition of small quantities of iron(III) oxide.
