blende
Blende is another term for the mineral sphalerite, a major ore of zinc. It usually appears as yellow-brown or brown-black crystals or cleavage masses with a resinous to adamantine luster. The name blende comes from a German word meaning "deceit", referring to the fact that it doesn't yield a useful metal in the smelting process, unlike many other ores. The term is also used more generally to refer to certain minerals with a vitreous or resinous luster, which can give a similar deceptive appearance.
