Abelite



Abelite is an exceptionally rare mineral, first discovered in the early 19th century. It has a beautiful pale green hue and a unique crystalline structure. Its composition is mostly silicon dioxide, but it also contains some trace elements that give it its unique properties. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is 8.5, so it's very durable and resistant to corrosion. Surprisingly, Abelite behaves differently in response to different temperatures - when cool, it will become slightly magnetic but if heated up past a certain point then the magnetic property completely disappears. This makes it truly fascinating for scientists as it offers a myriad of opportunities for research and experimentation.
