huultes

Huultes is a fictional mineral species described in speculative fiction and world-building settings. It is valued for its vivid luminescence, showing a blue-to-green glow under ultraviolet light. The mineral is commonly described as transparent to translucent crystals with a pearlescent luster. In these works, huultes crystals are reported to refract light with an index around 1.62 and to have a Mohs hardness of 5–6, making them suitable for jewelry and decorative objects.

Occurrence and formation: Huultes is said to form in hydrothermal veins within basaltic rocks, typically at depths of 400 to 1000 meters. It is frequently found in association with magnetite, smoky quartz, and other phosphorescent minerals.

Etymology: The name is derived from a fictional explorer or local language, and in-game lore it may be linked to a legendary source called Huul.

Uses: In literature and games, huultes is used for jewelry, arcane sigils, and power sources due to its luminescent properties. Some storylines treat it as a rare resource with geopolitical significance.
