zegarach

Zegarach is a fictional mineral frequently appearing in science fiction and fantasy. It is not recognized in geology or mineralogy. The term is used to describe a material with various speculative properties that can vary by author or setting.

In most depictions, zegarach is a dense, crystalline silicate or oxide with a vitreous to sub-metallic luster. It is described as colorless or pale blue in its natural state and develops a bright fluorescence when exposed to certain wavelengths of light or radiation. Reported hardness ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, and its density is high, often described as around 4.5 g/cm3 or more.

Formation and occurrence vary by work. Some sources place zegarach in deep crustal pockets formed under high pressure; others attribute its origin to meteorite impacts or hydrothermal systems. In several narratives, zegarach is synthesized in advanced laboratories or mined from composite ore bodies associated with alien geology.

Uses and cultural significance: In many stories, zegarach powers advanced technologies, acts as a component in energy storage or propulsion systems, or is sought for its rumored metaphysical properties. It also appears in art and mythology within fictional worlds as a symbol of memory or time.
