yes, it is a rocksalt.
Zinc is obtained from zinc blende/sphalerite ore (zinc sulphide)
The rocksalt structure is significant in crystal formation because it is a common arrangement of atoms in crystals. This structure helps determine the physical and chemical properties of the crystal, such as its hardness and conductivity. The rocksalt structure is stable and allows for close packing of atoms, leading to a strong and orderly crystal lattice.
Sulfide ores such as copper, lead, zinc, and nickel are commonly concentrated by froth flotation process. The process involves selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic materials by creating a froth layer on the surface of the slurry.
As with many metals, pure zinc can be prepared from an ore by one of two methods. First, the ore can be roasted (heated in air). Roasting converts the ore to a compound of zinc and oxygen, zinc oxide (ZnO). The compound can then be heated with charcoal (pure carbon ). The carbon takes the oxygen away from the zinc, leaving the pure metalThe other method is to pass an electric current through a compound of zinc. The electric current causes the compound to break apart. Pure zinc metal is produced.

Zinc forms a compound with sulphur. it gives zinc sulphide, known as the mineral zinc blende or sphalerite. Hope I helped:) ^_^
There are four zinc blende atoms per unit cell.
Zinc can be obtained from zinc blende (also known as sphalerite) through a process called roasting. First, the zinc blende is heated in the presence of oxygen to convert it into zinc oxide. Then, the zinc oxide is further heated with coke (a form of carbon) to reduce it to metallic zinc, which can be collected for further use.
Blende may refer to: Sphalerite (Zinc blende, ZnS).
Zinc is obtained from zinc blende/sphalerite ore (zinc sulphide)
ZnS is a 4:4 co-ordinate compound. It adopts a face centred cubic array.
The process used for the concentration of zinc blende (sphalerite) is called froth flotation. In this method, the ore is crushed and mixed with water to create a slurry, then collectors are added to bind to the zinc minerals. Air is bubbled through the slurry, creating froth that carries the zinc-rich minerals to the surface, while the gangue materials remain submerged. This allows for the selective separation of zinc from impurities.
Another name for Zinc is "Zink" if I'm not mistaken. :D Against part: zink is the miss spelling of zinc so that is not the answer
When Zinc and Sulphur are heated, an exothermic (giving OUT heat) reaction occurs. The Product formed is called Zinc Sulphide formula ZnS, also known as Zinc Blende in its mineral form. The Equation for the reaction is : Zn + S = ZnS, but I am not sure as the mixture is heated in presence of oxygen. If oxygen works as a catalyst then the equation is right otherwise the product would be Zinc Sulphate.(ZnSO4)
