What does BLENDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A glossy brown, yellow or black mineral that is the chief ore from which zinc is obtained.
Miners and geologists meet blende in veins alongside lead ores, and its chemistry is zinc bound to sulfur. The name comes from German and hints at the old complaint that the stone looked promising yet yielded no lead, so it was thought to be deceiving the eye. Today the same mineral is more often called sphalerite, while zinc blende remains a common trade and textbook phrase.
