Mining cave
At the start of the game, you will be in The great sky island above Hyrule. There are many caves here where you will find a lot of important gems that can be used Zonai devices and improve your weapons. the Mining cave It is where you will easily be able to find some Zonaite at first.

Campsites can be found in the two map images above. Not only will defeating enemies give you some Zonaite, but if you destroy the sparkling boulders in the area, they will also provide you with materials.
Nosemac Lightroot
As you can probably tell by now, Zonaite is found mostly in the sky and depths rather than on the surface. Another place you can visit would be South of the former Sinonoyk Lightroot, at Nuzimak Lightroot.
From Nuzimak Lightroot, there will be A couple of Pokoblin camps to the north and west, Shown on the map images above. All of these will have at least 10 Zoneites to add to your collection.

They will be able to take the Zonaite you have collected and converting it into an amorphous charge or a zonai charge. One Zonai Charge will require 2 Zonaitewhile a Crystallized charging will require 3.
