childrenite

Example:Childrenite is a mineral that is typically found in oxidized ore zones.

Definition:A naturally occurring inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and an ordered internal structure.

Example:The childrenite crystals exhibit a monoclinic system of symmetry.

Definition:A solid substance with a highly ordered microscopic structure (a crystal lattice) that is usually characterized by its rigid geometric shape.

Example:Childrenite can be found in a variety of ore deposits, particularly in areas rich in lead and zinc.

Definition:A concentration or occurrence of naturally-accumulated solid mineral substances of sufficient size, grade and depth to justify extraction under current or forecasted economic conditions.

Example:Childrenite forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of mineral deposits.

Definition:A part of a mineral deposit that has been altered by oxidation and is enriched in oxidative minerals and metals such as hematite, limonite, and cerussite.
