verososien
Verososien is a fictional silicate mineral created for speculative geology and science-fiction world-building. In its in-universe description, verososien forms under high-temperature, high-pressure metamorphism in subduction-zone settings, where vanadium concentrates within a silicate lattice. The mineral is described as occurring as elongate tabular crystals with a blue-green to teal color and a vitreous luster.
Chemistry and structure: verososien is said to crystallize in a monoclinic system with a simplified nominal
Occurrence: In fiction, verososien is associated with ultramafic and serpentinite host rocks, often alongside magnetite, olivine,
Applications in the fictional setting: verososien’s proposed properties make it attractive for energy storage in speculative
Etymology and naming: the name verososien is stated to derive from a combination of “verus” (true) and
