an ore that is the chief source of zinc; consists largely of zinc sulfide in crystalline form

From German Blende, from blenden (“deceive”) (because it resembles galena).

“The procedure up here with ordinary local zinc blende had been straightforward—first you got the sulfur to go off by roasting the blende to zinc oxide, and then you reduced the oxide to zinc metal.”
