Mineralogical Properties and Origin of These Red Zincite Crystals

Zincite, chemically known as zinc oxide (ZnO), forms vividly colored crystals in red, orange, and yellow tones depending on the deposit. The deep red coloration of these pieces from Indonesia is caused by natural trace elements such as manganese, which give the mineral its unmistakable, warm signal color. Indonesia has established itself in recent years as an exciting source of extraordinary mineral finds – a country of origin that Crystal Paradise is excited to bring to you.

Care and Handling of Your Zincite

Zincite is a comparatively delicate mineral (hardness approx. 4 on the Mohs scale) and should therefore be handled with care. To ensure long-lasting enjoyment of your piece, we recommend the following care tips:

• Do not clean with water or acids – zincite is water-sensitive
• Remove dust gently with a soft, dry cloth
• Do not store together with harder minerals to avoid scratches
• Avoid direct sunlight over the long term to preserve color intensity
• Energetically, you can cleanse your zincite with selenite or in fresh air
