ZINCITE

Zincite crystals are found in smoke stacks in Poland. It was discovered when they started toppling the smoke stacks. It is an interesting crystal because it would not have formed without humans, but formed naturally. They are also lab grown (generally the more rounded ones are natural, and the more spear-shaped, pointy Zincite crystals are lab grown). As the number of the smokestacks reduce, so do the number of available natural Zincite crystals. Like meteorites and tektites, Zincite is an oddly non-renewable resource in that way – once they’re gone, they’re gone.Zincite is very heavy, and has lead content (toxic mineral!), so do not use this one in elixirs, and wash your hands very well after handling. Some formations glow under UV light. Generally the more yellow, clear, and blue forms are the ones that will glow most brightly.
