Vooludes
Vooludes are a family of luminescent mineral-like solids described in speculative mineralogy. They are notable for bright, shifting iridescence and for emitting light after exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In hand specimens vooludes range from tabular to prismatic crystals and commonly show a glassy to resinous luster.
The term voolude was coined by mineralogist Dr. Amina Kesh in 2042 after fieldwork at the Shalyn
Vooludes are described as complex silicate-like minerals with a variable composition. They are typically doped with
Occurrence and formation: They occur in hydrothermal veins associated with quartz and feldspathoids, usually at depths
Applications and research: Researchers have explored vooludes for potential uses as low-temperature phosphors, decorative stones, or
