Additional facts

 Trituration of the pure metal. In.
  This metal was discovered by Reich and Richter in the zinc-blende of Freiberg. Its spectrum is characterized by two indigo colored lines, one very bright and more refrangible than the blue lines of Strontium, the other fainter but still more refrangible, approaching the blue line of Potassium. It was the production of this peculiar spectrum that led to the discovery of the metal. The ore, consisting chiefly of blende, galena and arsenical pyrites, was roasted to expel sulphur and arsenic, then treated with hydrochloric acid, and the solution was evaporated to dryness. The impure zinc chloride thus obtained, exhibited, when examined by the spectroscope, the first of the indigo lines above mentioned. The chloride was afterwards obtained in a state of greater purity, and from this the hydrate and the metal itself were prepared. The first line then came out with much greater brilliancy and the second was likewise observed. -Am. Hom. Pharm.
