Listing of elements needs better sources

The current listing of native element minerals cites only the IMA's listing of all minerals. Several elements listed are not on that list as shown by the source, and have been flagged as needing citations. Native rhenium is flagged as discredited on mindat, and has been marked as disputed. Better sources should be available for most native elements.

Once sources are found, I am inclined to format the list as a colour-coded periodic table, to indicate relative abundance of native elements, if such data is available; many native metals are found in only minute amounts, and should probably be distinguished qualitatively from e.g. carbon, sulfur, the noble metals.
