malfrua

Malfrua is a fictional mineral used in speculative fiction and worldbuilding. It does not exist in the real world.

In common depictions, malfrua is described as a translucent, glassy mineral that emits a soft glow. Colors range from pale blue to violet, and its luminescence is said to intensify in darkness or near electromagnetic fields.

Geology and origin: The term appears in several independent works, without a single canonical origin. In some settings it forms in hydrothermal veins within basalt, in others it is produced by magical or advanced-technological processes.

Uses and significance: Malfrua is often portrayed as a versatile material for high-precision optics, energy storage, or magical focus devices. It is frequently scarce, making it valuable as currency or as a plot device that highlights resource competition.

Cultural context: Different cultures within stories may revere or fear malfrua, tying its properties to symbolism such as clarity, resilience, or mystery.
