Eluige

Eluige is a rare and unique mineral discovered in the late 20th century. It is named after the Italian word for "light," reflecting its distinctive optical properties. Eluige is typically found in volcanic rocks and is characterized by its translucent, glassy appearance. The mineral is composed of silicon, oxygen, and a small amount of sodium and potassium. Its chemical formula is SiO2NaK. Eluige is known for its unique ability to diffract light, creating a mesmerizing display of colors when viewed under certain conditions. This property has made it a subject of interest for both geological and optical studies. Despite its rarity, eluige has gained attention in the scientific community due to its potential applications in optics and materials science. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the mineral's properties and potential uses.
