Selenium is an element it was "made" in the nova of an exploding star several billion years ago.
Selenium is found on Earth in minerals such as pyrites where it partially replaces the sulfides. Native selenium is very rare. Most elemental selenium on the market comes as a byproduct of metal refining such as copper or the production of sulfuric acid.

Selenium is a naturally occurring element. It is rarely found in nature as a pure element. It can be found in metal ores such as:

Berzelianite (Copper Selenide)

Clausthalite (Lead Selenide)

Eucairite (Silver Copper Selenide)

Hakite (Copper Mercury Silver Antimony Selenium Sulfide)

Klockmannite (Copper Selenide)

Palladseite (Palladium Selenide)

Penroseite (Nickel Selenide)

Selen-tellurium (Selenium Tellurium)

Tiemannite (Mercury Selenide)

Umangite (Copper Selenide

Pure selenium is usually produced as a by-product of refining copper sulfide for copper, where it is an impurity.
