zi ran tong﹐pyritum 自然銅

by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu

zi ran tong literally means natural copper; but it has nothing to do with copper. It is iron pyrites. Its chemical formula is FeS2. It also contains some trace mineral like nickle, arsenic and antimony.

In prescription, zi ran tong refers to unprocessed iron pyrites which has been cleaned of sand, rocks and impurities. Duan zi ran tong, also called duan ran tong, are those pieces of zi ran tong that have been heated till bright red and dipped into rice vinegar and smashed.

 

自然銅跟銅沒關係。它是二硫化鐵 。 分子式為 FeS2。 學名叫做「黃鐵礦」。並含有鎳﹐砷﹐銻等少量元素。

處方中之自然銅指生自然銅。為礦石去除泥土﹐碎石與雜物後,生用入藥者。鍛自然銅又名鍛然銅。為自然銅塊燒至紅透,放入米醋中浸淬後,打碎入藥者。
