Calamine (mineral) Calamine (mineral) Calamine is a historic name for an ore of zinc. The name "calamine" was derived from "lapis calaminaris", a Latin corruption of Greek "cadmia (καδμία)", the old name for zinc ores in general. The name of the Belgian town of Kelmis, "La Calamine" in French, which was home to a zinc mine, comes from that. In the 18th and 19th centuries large ore mines could be found near the German village of Breinigerberg. During the early 19th century it was discovered that what had been thought to be one ore was actually two distinct minerals: Although chemically and
Ore condition right order in "D" includes the condition that "D" must consist entirely of elements of the form "rs". Any domain satisfying one of the Ore conditions can be considered a subring of a division ring, however this does not automatically mean "R" is a left order in "D", since it is possible "D" has an element which is not of the form "s""r". Thus it is possible for "R" to be a right-not-left Ore domain. Intuitively, the condition that all elements of "D" be of the form "rs" says that "R" is a "big" "R"-submodule of "D". In fact the
