Dorosej

Dorosej is a term used in speculative fiction and worldbuilding to describe a rare crystalline material regarded as an efficient energy conductor and storage medium. In many imagined universes, dorosej's energy density and stability make it central to power systems, propulsion, and advanced technology.

Dorosej crystals are typically depicted as colorless or pale blue, with a glassy to vitreous luster. They are described as having a hexagonal or tetragonal crystal habit, with fractures that yield conchoidal patterns. In fictional lore, dorosej is resistant to heat and radiation and exhibits luminescence when energized.

Dorosej is said to form under high-pressure, low-temperature conditions or in volcanic-hosted hydrothermal veins. Mining is hazardous due to unstable chambers and toxic vapors; refining requires specialized furnaces and vacuum processing to prevent energy leakage.

In stories, dorosej artifacts power starships, shield generators, or ceremonial devices. Trade routes for dorosej often drive interregional economies. Ethical and environmental concerns appear in narratives about mining and resource distribution.

The name dorosej appears to be fictional, derived from constructed languages used by various authors, possibly combining roots meaning light or core. It is treated as a proper noun within each work rather than a real mineral.
