<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[Charaka Samhita]], thought to have been written between 300 and 500&nbsp;AD, mentions a metal which, when oxidized, produces ''pushpanjan'', thought to be zinc oxide. Zinc mines at Zawar, near [[Udaipur]] in India, have been active since the [[Mauryan period]] ({{circa| 322}} and 187&nbsp;BC). The smelting of metallic zinc here, however, appears to have begun around the 12th century AD. One estimate is that this location produced an estimated million tonnes of metallic zinc and zinc oxide from the 12th to 16th centuries. Another estimate gives a total production of 60,000 tonnes of metallic zinc over this period. The [[Rasaratna Samuccaya]], written in approximately the 13th century AD, mentions two types of zinc-containing ores: one used for metal extraction and another used for medicinal purposes.</div>FuzzyBot
