Zinc selenide (ZnSe) is rarely found in nature, and consists of zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) bonded together to form a light yellow solid compound. When found in nature, it's surrounded by stilleite, a mineral named after Hans Stille. Its conductive nature makes it especially suited for transmitting wavelengths (with a range of 0.45µm to 21.5µm) over long distances. Its properties are not wholly dissimilar to some of those found in the magic crystals used on Geb.
