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.
