 * Just a question: what is the blue on the right piece? If you know try to write it in German on Commons and somebody will translate it. Nergaal (talk) 18:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the small blue area is also a thin oxide film layer, similar to the bismuth crystal: Bi-crystal.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alchemist-hp (talk • contribs) 18:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Zinc compounds are colorless though. Nergaal (talk) 16:46, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is right, but please read: Interference (wave propagation). It is a thin layer property, similar to the bismuth colors. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 17:16, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Support - wonderful! On a side note, I'd love to see how Alchemist might do one of the non-metallic elements, such as carbon or sulfur. Those ones definitely need better pictures. Ephemeronium (talk) 18:47, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
