Lowerucic

Lowerucic is a fictional mineral name that appears in speculative geology and world-building literature. In such contexts, it is described as a rare silicate mineral with a vitreous to pearly luster, typically colorless to pale blue. Reported hardness is around 6.5 on the Mohs scale, and its exact composition varies by source, often described as a complex silicate with trace rare-earth elements.

Discovery and naming: The term is said to derive from the fictional Loweruc region in the continent of Lenora, combining a geographic element with a mineral-suffix common in the lore. The name first appears in early 22nd-century compendia and has since been used in various novels and role-playing game materials.

Geology and occurrence: Lowerucic is described as forming in hydrothermal veins within metamorphic rocks. It is said to occur most often alongside quartz, fluorite, and cassiterite and is considered extremely rare, with only a handful of crystals described in the fictional geological surveys of the Loweruc Province.

Uses and significance: In fiction, lowerucic crystals are depicted as having faint luminescence and potential applications in energy storage or enchantment-like technologies. These uses are part of world-building narratives and do not reflect real mineral properties.
