Zinc Element Cube - 2" Acrylic Display - Atomic Number 30
Zinc's atomic number is 30 and its symbol is Zn. Zinc is just silver in color at first glance but when you look closely you will notice a hint of blue. Zinc is also one of the main metals needed to make brass. The ancient Romans are famous for the early adoption of brass to make tools and weapons because of its easy moldability.
In modern times zinc is used to make a lot of different products including batteries, rubber, glow-in-the-dark paint, propellants, and tv screens. Zinc is an essential nutrient in animals as well. That can be found in vitamins as well as a variety of nuts and grains.
The combined weight of the hexagon-shaped zinc pellets is about half of an ounce.
