2043=head1 The Mineral Brazilianite
2044
2045Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Brazilianite.
2046
2047Nobody knows for sure who named it like this, but since no natural sources
2048of it have been found it is rumored that it came from a far-away country.
2049
2050The value of Brazialinite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and
2051other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's dexterity.
2052
2053It can often be found in old and thinned-out, rough walls.
2054
2055=head1 The Mineral Dolomite
2056
2057Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Dolomite.
2058
2059The name is thought to come from the archaic Do-l'os - "he who continues".
2060
2061The value of Dolomite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and
2062other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's stamina and
2063constitution.
2064
2065It can often be found in the rock of very high mountains.
2066
2067=head1 The Mineral Flourite
2068
2069Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Flourite.
2070
2071The name is thought to come from the archaic Flu-l'dos - "he who inflicts
2072pain", as it is often used to improve weapons.
2073
2074The value of Flourite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and other
2075items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's strength.
2076
2077It's only known natural sources can be found on the so called "Three
2078sisters Island" between the Scorn and Navar continents.
2079
2080=head1 The Mineral Olivine
2081
2082Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Olivine.
2083
2084It was named by empress Olo of Orn in or around EK 8317, who couldn't
2085satiate her lust for this mineral, and almost caused an economic disaster
2086because she spend all her money on it instead of more important things,
2087and somehow nobody managed to convince her otherwise.
2088
2089The value of Olivine lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with
2090its energy improve the wearer's charisma.
2091
2092The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of
2093Valriel in Scorn, apparently in their so-called "Heaven".
2094
2095=head1 The Mineral Phlogopite
2096
2097Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Phlogopite.
2098
2099Since the mineral is so worthless but yet so common, miners often say "Oh
2100Flog!" when they get Phlogopite instead something more wealthy. It was
2101named after the minor goddess of Flog, one of the beings miners often pray
2102to ensure (as they think) their survival. Apparently she does not care
2103much about her name being used as an obvious invective...
2104
2105The biggest value of Phlogopite lies in its beauty, in which it is
2106considerably lacking, so it isn't worth all that much. At least it can be
2107somewhat useful to miners, as the presence of Phlogopite often hints at
2108the presence of other, more useful, minerals.
2109
2110It can be found in rock almost anywhere.
2111
2112=head1 The Mineral Marcasite
2113
2114Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Marcasite.
2115
2116It was named after the great philosopher Marcas, who, today almost
2117unknown, was widely known during his lifetime. Only considerable time
2118after his death was it found out that all his wisdom came from one of his
2119rings made of Marcasite. While this didn't diminish his great words, it
2120did diminish his fame.
2121
2122The value of Marcasite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with
2123its energy improve the wearer's wisdom.
2124
2125The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of
2126Gorokh in Scorn, in their so-called "Hell", which they apparently think to
2127be a nice place to be in.
2128
2129=head1 The Mineral Rhodochrosite
2130
2131Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Rhodochrosite.
2132
2133Nothing is known about the origin of its name (which is very pretty, I
2134tell you).
2135
2136The value of Rhodochrosite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued
2137with its energy improve the wearer's magical powers, which makes it very
2138valuable to all kinds of practitioners of the arts.
2139
2140It is best found in Valleynoy, which has a mining guild specialised on
2141Rhodochrosite.
2142
2143=head1 The Mineral Spectrolite
2144
2145Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Spectrolite.
2146
2147It is named after the only place where it can be found naturally, the
2148Spectre mountain ring.
2149
2150The value of Spectrolite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued
2151with its energy improve the wearer's brightness, making him or her
2152more intelligent, which makes it especially valuable to all kinds of
2153practitioners of the arts.
2154
2155The Spectre mountain ring is, surprisingly, a ring-mountain north of
2156Scorn.
