Calx is a residual substance, sometimes in the form of a fine powder, that is left when a metal or mineral combusts or is calcinated due to heat.
Calx, especially of a metal, is now known as an oxide. According to the Phlogiston theory, the calx was supposedly the true elemental substance, having lost its phlogiston in the process of combustion.
