Zinc: An abundant, lustrous,
bluish-white, metallic element
of the magnesium-cadmium
group. Zinc is brittle at room temperature but malleable when
heated. It is used to form a wide variety of alloys
including Brass, Britannia,
Bronze, various solders,
and Nickel Silver. Because
zinc is not easily oxidized
in moist air it is used for sheeting, coating galvanized iron
(and other metals), for
electric fuses, anodes, meter cases, in roofing, gutters, and is
also largely consumed in electric batteries.
Zircon: A common mineral
occurring in small crystals which is heated, cut,
and polished to form a
brilliant blue-white gem
used as a refractory when opaque
and as a gemstone when transparent..
They are not man made stones like cubic
zirconia are. Although they are frequently color-treated,
zircons occur naturally in clear, yellow, orange, brown and red.
They are a chief source of zirconium. See Hyacinth.
Zoisite: Named after the man who
discovered it, Von Zois, an Austrian mineralogist, Zoisite is opaque
grayish or whitish mineral
with green or black streaks occurring in rhombohedral
crystals or columnar masses. It is a silicate
of alumina and lime,
similar to epidote, and is
often found included with opaque
ruby (corundum).
Zoisite is found in Kenya, Norway, Austria, Western Australia,
Italy, and North Carolina. There is a purple-blue variant of it
discovered in Tanzania in 1967 called Tanzanite.
Zoisite has a hardness of 6.5 on the Mohs
scale.
