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.
