kakskihilise

Kakskihilise is a fictional mineral described in speculative geology and in works of fiction. In the imagined framework, it is a potassium aluminum silicate that crystallizes in the monoclinic system. The name combines Kakshi, the fictional region where it was first described, with the suffix -hilise, used in this invented mineral family.

Its depicted physical properties include hardness 6.5 on the Mohs scale; color emerald-green to olive; translucent to transparent; vitreous luster; and a pale green streak. Crystals are typically prismatic or tabular, with monoclinic symmetry.

Occurrence: In the fictional setting, kakskihilise occurs in hydrothermal veins within metamorphic rocks of the Kakshi Basin, and is often found with quartz, muscovite, and chlorite. The composition centers on potassium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen, with trace iron and fluorine.

Formation and classification: The mineral is described as forming by high-temperature alteration of feldspathic rocks under silica-poor hydrothermal fluids during regional metamorphism. It is placed in a fictional mineral group named for Kakshi and the -hilise suffix.

Etymology and cultural notes: The name Kakskihilise is derived from the fictional Kakshi region and the -hilise suffix used in this imaginary mineral taxonomy. In the associated literature, kakskihilise is cited as a case study in mineral nomenclature within a constructed geological world. References: Doe A (20XX).
