Mineralogical Properties of Red Zincite

Zincite (ZnO) is a zinc oxide mineral with a hexagonal crystal structure, known above all for its characteristic deep red to orange hue. The intense coloration results from manganese and iron inclusions within the crystal lattice – a natural process that gives each piece its own individual color nuance. In recent years, Indonesia has established itself as a significant source of high-quality zincite specimens that delight collectors around the world.
