The Magic Of Swj0036 - Finest Grade Pink Botroydal Smithsonite From Mexico Gift Boxed [Ug9YlGCo]

Smithsonite, also known as turkey fat or zinc spar, is the mineral form of zinc carbonate (ZnCO3). Historically, smithsonite was identified with hemimorphite before it was realized that they were two different minerals. The two minerals are very similar in appearance and the term calamine has been used for both, leading to some confusion. The distinct mineral smithsonite was named in 1832 by François Sulpice Beudant in honor of English chemist and mineralogist James Smithson (c.1765–1829), who first identified the mineral in 1802.
