Samookrelenia

Samookrelenia is a fictional mineral used in science-fiction worldbuilding and speculative literature. It is described as a dense, luminescent silicate with notable energy-storage properties and resilience under extreme conditions.

Etymology and taxonomy: The name samookrelenia is a constructed term from two imagined linguistic roots. In fictional taxonomies, it is placed in the genus Samookrelenia within the family Silicaria, a grouping used in several worldbuilding texts to categorize luminescent silicates.

Physical properties: In the narratives, samookrelenia typically forms as prismatic crystals with a pale opalescent color and a blue-green hue when illuminated. It is described as having a Mohs hardness around 7 to 8 and a high refractive index, with trace rare-earth elements contributing to its glow. Its energy-storage capabilities are presented as rapid charge-discharge cycles and stability at high temperatures.

Occurrence and formation: Samookrelenia is depicted as forming in deep-crust or subduction-zone environments or as a meteoritic alloy in some settings. It is commonly associated with minerals such as quartz and chrysotile in lore, though its occurrence is fictional and varies by author.

Uses and significance: In stories, samookrelenia is valued for advanced battery materials, high-strength composites, and decorative glass. It also serves as a plot device to explain trade routes, technological prestige, and ecological constraints within a fictional world.
