A rare mineral that is a reddish-brown hydroxide of zinc, found in oxidized zinc ore deposits.
From Greek 'erythros' (red) + 'zinc' + '-ite' (mineral suffix). Named for its red color and zinc composition.
Erythrozincite is one of those beautiful rare minerals that only forms under very specific conditions where zinc ores weather in just the right way—collectors seek it out because it's both pretty and scientifically interesting.
