Spinel

LL. spinellus, perhaps from L. spina a thorn, a prickle, in
allusion to its pointed crystals.] (Min.)
A mineral occuring in octahedrons of great hardness and
various colors, as red, green, blue, brown, and black, the
red variety being the gem spinel ruby. It consist essentially
of alumina and magnesia, but commonly contains iron and
sometimes also chromium.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The spinel group includes spinel proper, also
magnetite, chromite, franklinite, gahnite, etc., all of
which may be regarded as composed of a sesquioxide and
a protoxide in equal proportions.

Zinc spinel
(gcide) | Zinc \Zinc\ (z[i^][ng]k), n. [G. zink, probably akin to zinn
tin: cf. F. zinc, from the German. Cf. Tin.] (Chem.)
An abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group, extracted
principally from the minerals zinc blende, smithsonite,
calamine, and franklinite, as an easily fusible bluish white
metal, which is malleable, especially when heated. It is not
easily oxidized in moist air, and hence is used for sheeting,
coating galvanized iron, etc. It is used in making brass,
britannia, and other alloys, and is also largely consumed in
electric batteries. Symbol Zn. Atomic number 30. Atomic
weight 65.38. [Formerly written also zink.]
[1913 Webster]
Butter of zinc (Old Chem.), zinc chloride, ZnCl2, a
deliquescent white waxy or oily substance.
Oxide of zinc. (Chem.) See Zinc oxide, below.
Zinc amine (Chem.), a white amorphous substance,
Zn(NH2)2, obtained by the action of ammonia on zinc
ethyl; -- called also zinc amide.
Zinc amyle (Chem.), a colorless, transparent liquid,
composed of zinc and amyle, which, when exposed to the
atmosphere, emits fumes, and absorbs oxygen with rapidity.
Zinc blende [cf. G. zinkblende] (Min.), a native zinc
sulphide. See Blende, n.

spontaneously on exposure to the atmosphere.
Zinc green, a green pigment consisting of zinc and cobalt
oxides; -- called also Rinmann's green.
Zinc methyl (Chem.), a colorless mobile liquid Zn(CH3)2,
produced by the action of methyl iodide on a zinc sodium
alloy. It has a disagreeable odor, and is spontaneously
inflammable in the air. It has been of great importance in
the synthesis of organic compounds, and is the type of a
large series of similar compounds, as zinc ethyl, zinc
amyle, etc.
Zinc oxide (Chem.), the oxide of zinc, ZnO, forming a
light fluffy sublimate when zinc is burned; -- called also
flowers of zinc, philosopher's wool, nihil album,
etc. The impure oxide produced by burning the metal,
