Urealiuoksia

Urealiuoksia is a fictional mineral concept used in speculative geology and science fiction. It does not correspond to any officially recognized mineral or compound in real-world science. In fiction and game lore, urealiuoksia is described as a hydrated uranyl-silicate or oxide-silicate with distinctive luminescence and complex crystal forms.

The name is a constructed term intended to evoke chemical roots and alien geology; it is not drawn from a known mineral name. In many works it appears as a rare accessory mineral that forms in specialized hydrothermal environments.

Physical properties commonly attributed to urealiuoksia in narratives include prismatic or botryoidal habit, a Mohs hardness around 4–6, and a vitreous to resinous luster. Reports of iridescent inclusions and UV-dependent coloration are frequent in fictional descriptions.

Occurrence and formation are generally linked to hydrothermal systems associated with ultramafic or carbon-rich host rocks, under conditions of elevated fluorine or chlorine activity and moderately high pH. Crystallization is depicted as slow, over geologic timescales, with associations to other unusual minerals.

Applications and significance in stories often involve energy storage, luminescent signaling, or catalytic properties attributed to its proposed redox behavior. The mineral is sometimes used as a plot device to symbolize scarce resources or to illustrate alien geologic processes.

Notes: Real-world mineralogists have no record of urealiuoksia. Readers should treat it as a fictional construct unless stated otherwise by a specific work or author.
