OCHKE, f.'ker (Fr. ocre, from Lat. ocra, from Gk. w,vP"i .vellow ochre, from i^xpoc, ochros, pale). A mineral paint consisting of day colored with some oxide of iron, rarely of manganese, in various proportions, giving to the clay a lighter or deeper color. Ochres are conunon in many geological formations, more especially the young- er ones, in which the materials are consolidated. For use the material is dried, ground, and mixed with oil. The commercial value of the material de])entls on its shade of color, the regularity of distribution of the iron coloration, and the quan- tity of oil which is required to mi.: it up. Cal- cination is sometimes resorted to in order to produce the desired tint; the operation adds much to the depth of color, by increasing the degree of oxidation of the contained iron. The common color of ochre is yellow. Umber and sienna diller from ochre in containing manganese in addition to the iron. Raw vimber has a brown color, while burnt umber is of a red tinge. Raw sienna is brownish yellow, but when bui'ued it yields a rich russet brown pigment. The finer grades of ochres are used by ]ia inters, the coarser by carpenters for marking out their work, etc. Common ochre is found in many parts of the United States. The most important States producing it are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, !Massachu- selts, Missoiiri, Xew York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia, Umber and sienna are produced by Xew York, Pennsylvania, and Mis- souri, but nuich is also imported, France leads the world in the i)roducti(m of ochre, with C!er- niany second, and the United States third.
