Sublimed Dendritic Zinc

Zinc specimens like this exist naturally, but are not commonly found due to the destructive nature of bulk commodity mining.

Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is a bluish-white, lustrous metal that is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, malleability, and conductivity. Zinc ores are typically found in association with other minerals in the Earth’s crust and are extracted through mining and processing methods to obtain zinc concentrate, which can be further processed to produce zinc metal or other zinc-containing products.
