Revolverit

Revolverit is a fictional mineral referenced in science fiction and speculative geology. It is not a recognized mineral in real-world mineralogy, and there are no peer-reviewed reports of its existence.

Described in various works, revolverit is often depicted as a dense, metallic mineral with a bright, nacreous or iridescent surface ranging from silver to blue-violet. Reported chemical interpretations typically describe a nickel-iron alloy enriched with trace elements such as cobalt and chromium, though propagators vary. In many depictions, revolverit exhibits strong magnetic properties and retains some conductivity at low temperatures, making it attractive for theoretical energy storage or advanced electronics.

Geological formation, as imagined in fiction, varies: some stories place revolveritogenesis in rapidly spinning volcanic conduits or mantle plumes; others locate it in impact melt beds subjected to intense shear. The exact crystallography is often described as a complex intergrowth of taenite-like tetragonal phases or spinel-like structures, but such descriptions are invented for plausibility rather than established science.

Within narrative contexts, revolverit is typically scarce and highly valued. Common fictional applications include compact energy cells, high-density armor plating, or superconducting components for spacecraft and weapons. The term also appears in fan-created encyclopedias and role-playing game materials as a placeholder for a legendary ore.
