<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Brass]], an [[alloy]] of [[copper]] and zinc in various proportions, was used as early as the third millennium BC in the [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]] area and the region which currently includes [[Iraq]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Kalmykia]], [[Turkmenistan]] and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. In the second millennium BC it was used in the regions currently including [[West India]], [[Uzbekistan]], [[Iran]], [[Syria]], Iraq, and [[Israel]]. The mines of [[Rajasthan]] have given definite evidence of zinc production going back to the 6th century BC. To date, the oldest evidence of pure zinc comes from Zawar, in Rajasthan, as early as the 9th century AD when a distillation process was employed to make pure zinc. [[alchemy|Alchemists]] burned zinc in air to form what they called "[[philosopher's wool]]" or "white snow".</div>FuzzyBot
