I2Rluojittuun

I2Rluojittuun is a rare, artificially synthesized dielectric mineral described in the fictional mineral catalog of the NovaMineris Research Consortium. It was first reported in 2047 by researchers at the Nova Institute of Materials, who noted its vivid blue‑green luminescence under ultraviolet light and a high refractive index. It is described as a luminescent silicate mineral with potential photonic and sensing applications.

Composition and properties: The material is described as a silicon‑aluminum oxide framework doped with trace amounts of titanium and chromium. It crystallizes in a monoclinic system and forms prismatic crystals. Reported properties include Mohs hardness around 6.5–7 and a density near 3.2–3.4 g/cm3. Its defining feature is emission in the blue‑green region under UV excitation, enabling optical readout at ambient temperatures.

Occurrence and production: Natural occurrence is negligible; I2Rluojittuun exists primarily as synthetic crystals grown in specialized laboratories using high‑temperature, high‑pressure crystal growth processes that mimic certain metamorphic environments.

Etymology and naming: The name combines the stylized symbol pair "I2R" with the suffix "luojittuun," drawn from the fictional Dravan language, intended to evoke light and resilience. In universe, it is classified among luminescent silicates with photonic potential.

Applications: Potential uses include optical waveguides, compact photodetectors, and radiation sensors due to its luminescent response and high refractive index.
