saltssuch
Saltssuch is a fictional mineral species described in speculative fiction and world-building exercises. It is imagined as a halide evaporite with distinctive crystallization and notable solubility, found in arid evaporite basins. The term combines an English word for salt with an in-world linguistic suffix, chosen to evoke its origin and extraction practices within the narrative.
The concept first appears in in-universe mineral catalogs following surveys of salt flats on the archipelago
Physically, saltssuch is described as transparent to pale-blue cubic or tabular crystals, typically 1–5 millimeters in
Geologically, saltssuch forms in layered evaporite deposits alongside halite, arising as brines evaporate in arid environments.
Uses and significance in the fictional economy center on its electrical conductivity and potential applications as
