Guanín

Guanín is a special kind of metal that is often used in jewelry and decorative objects. It is brown or gray in color and is made up of a mixture of copper, nickel, and zinc. Think of it like when you mix different colors of paint together to create a new color.

When these three metals are combined in a specific way, they create guanín. The name comes from the Taíno people, who were the first people in the Caribbean to use this special metal. They used it to make beautiful objects like jewelry, bowls, and even weapons.

Today, guanín is still used to make important objects, especially in places like the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico where the Taíno people originally lived. It's a special kind of metal that has a very rich history, and it continues to be important to many people today!
