ʻO nā kristal Zincite kekahi ʻano o ka mineral zinc oxide i ʻike ʻia no kona waihoʻoluʻu ʻalani. Loaʻa ʻia kēia mau minerala i waena o ka metamorphic or nā kaʻina hana hydrothermal, kahi e hana ai lākou ma lalo o ke kaomi kiʻekiʻe a me nā kūlana wela.
Ma ke ʻano o nā hiʻohiʻona kino, ʻike ʻia nā kristal zincite no ko lākou kala ʻalani ʻokoʻa a me ke ʻano aniani hexagonal. Hiki iā lākou ke hōʻike i nā ʻano kala ʻē aʻe, e like me ka melemele, ka ʻulaʻula, a me ka ʻulaʻula, ma muli o nā haumia i loko o ka mineral. ʻO nā kristal Zincite he mea maʻalahi a he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ka paʻakikī ma ka pālākiō Mohs, e maʻalahi iā lākou e ʻohi a ʻoki paha.
Ma kemika, ua haku ʻia nā kristal zincite me ka zinc oxide, a i ʻole ZnO. ʻO kēia pūhui he semiconductor i ʻike ʻia, ʻo ia ka mea hiki ke alakaʻi i ka uila ma lalo o kekahi mau kūlana. He pūhui hoʻoikaika nui nō hoʻi, ʻo ia ke kumu e ʻike pinepine ʻia ai nā kristal zincite i waena o nā kaʻina metamorphic a hydrothermal.
Ma keʻano o ke koʻikoʻi geological, ʻaʻole maʻamau nā kristal zincite, akā hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā wahi like ʻole a puni ka honua. ʻO kekahi mau waihona koʻikoʻi i loko o Polani, Czech Republic, a me ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua ʻike pū ʻia nā kristal Zincite i loko o nā meteorites, e hōʻike ana ua hana ʻia lākou ma ka lewa a pae hope ma ka Honua.
ʻO ka holoʻokoʻa, ʻo nā kristal zincite he mea hoihoi a kūʻokoʻa hoʻi i ka honua, e hāʻawi ana i kahi ʻike i nā kaʻina hana paʻakikī e hoʻohālike i ko mākou honua. Inā he kanaka hulihonua paha ʻoe, ʻohi mineral, a i ʻole he mea hoihoi i ka honua kūlohelohe, nui nā mea e aʻo ai a ʻike e pili ana i kēia mau minerala hoihoi.
