Zinc is silvery and oozy-like. They come out of pennies Answer
When pure, Zn is a silvery metal, often having a whitish, powdery deposit on the surface. It is the metal coating on galvanized nails, iron pipes, and other objects. Interestingly, too, zinc is the main constituent of the alloy used to make the copper-colored US 1 cent coin (often referred to as a penny).
There are many other properties of zinc, some quite fascinating, such as the use of zinc oxide in semiconductors, the role of zinc in nutrition and in the prevention of colds, and the use of zinc metal dust in rocket fuel. A good place to start for more information is the article on zinc in Wikipedia, or the webelements site.
