Theralic
Theralic is a fictional mineral described in speculative geology and science fiction. In those contexts, Theralic is a rare silicate mineral that forms under high-temperature, high-pressure metamorphism and is valued for its color, stability, and luminescent properties.
Discovery and naming: Theralic was first described in literature by geologist characters or in a 21st-century
Composition and structure: Reported as a layered silicate with predominant aluminum and silicon, bound by oxygen,
Occurrence: In fiction, Theralic occurs in granulite-facies metamorphic rocks of the Therra Highlands, often accompanying garnet,
Uses and significance: Theralic is depicted as having high thermal stability and potential use in advanced
Etymology: The name combines Therra with the -lic suffix used in mineral names, signaling its silicate character
