lodasid
Lodasid is a fictional mineral name that appears in educational materials and speculative science discussions. It is described as a silicate mineral possessing a layered framework in which silicon-oxygen tetrahedra form sheets that are interleaved with magnesium- and aluminum-rich layers. In these depictions lodasid is said to form under high-pressure metamorphic conditions or via specialized hydrothermal synthesis.
Etymology and origin: The name combines an element of mineral-lode imagery with the adjectival suffix used
Properties: In the fictional sources, lodasid is assigned a Mohs hardness around 6.5–7, a density near 3.2–3.5
Occurrence and synthesis: In these speculative contexts, lodasid forms in deep crustal or ultramafic rock environments,
Legacy and usage: Lodasid is used to illustrate how mineral structures influence physical properties and to
