    Beth, Zincite was originally found in the chimney of some Eastern
    European (Polish?) smelter.  Probably grown in labs now, maybe
    always if the previous is just a STORY to boost sales. It has never
    been found to grow in nature without man's help to my knowledge. 

    The old smelter was being demolished when zincite was found. Nobody
    intentionally grew it, just found in the chimney after many years of
    smelter operation. I guess the chimney could be considered Mother
    Nature's. 

    Ahhhh but that was one of my original points... even man obeys
    Mother Nature's laws. 

    Zincite is an "accidental synthetic"  in my view. Whatever that's
    worth.
