Isolation

Picture of an old man head (profile). The man has a long face, short hair and tall forehead.
Andreas Sigismund Marggraf is given credit for first isolating pure zinc.

Metallic zinc was isolated in India by 1300 AD. Before it was isolated in Europe, it was imported from India in about 1600 AD. Postlewayt's Universal Dictionary, a contemporary source giving technological information in Europe, did not mention zinc before 1751 but the element was studied before then.
