Talmessite is a relatively obscure mineral that was discovered in 1981 in the Talmessi mine in Iran. It is a rare zinc sulfide mineral that typically forms as tiny, lustrous, yellow-green crystals. Due to its limited use and recognition, there are not many synonyms for talmessite. However, some alternate names used to refer to this mineral include zincblende, blende, and sphalerite. Zincblende and blende are more general terms used to describe different types of sulfide minerals containing zinc, whereas sphalerite specifically refers to the mineral that is the primary ore of zinc.
