English: Cadmic sulphate;
Cadmium sulphate.
Cadmium sulphuratum is the best known of all the
Cadmium compounds. We have to make a subtle difference between
Cadmium sulphuricum or
Cadmium sulphate. Boericke gives us a description of
Cadmium sulphuricum but this is probably a mistake because both Allen (Vol. 2, page 330) and Clarke (Vol. 1, page 328) are clearly talking about
Cadmium sulphuratum.
SignatureCadmiumsulphide is a semiprecious stone with a yellow or red colour and it is called greenockite.
