neyitir
Neyitir is a fictional mineral species frequently used in speculative geology and worldbuilding narratives. It is described as a rare calcium-aluminum silicate with optional magnesium substitution, notable for its hexagonal prismatic crystals and a distinctive blue-to-violet iridescence. In hypothetical mineral catalogs, neyitir exhibits a strong luminescence under ultraviolet light and a moderate hardness, placing it around 6 on the Mohs scale. Its refractive index is commonly cited as high, contributing to a glassy appearance.
