Nekoite


Nekoite is a triclinic, white silicate mineral consisting of calcium, silicon, oxygen and water. Its discovery was first published in 1956.

Etymology

Its name derives from reversing "Oken" from Okenite, which it was originally mistaken for due to their similar appearances.

Properties

This translucent crystal is described as having a pearl white color. It is also said to have a vitreous lustre.

Location

Nekoite is a very rare mineral, but has been found in Landsman Camp in Arizona; Crestmore Crestmore Heights in California; Koch-Bulach in Uzbekistan; and Caxias do Sul in Brazil.

Media appearances

It is featured in Stardew Valley as a minor item obtained from geodes.
