Nekoite is a triclinic, white
Silicate mineral mineral consisting of calcium, silicon, oxygen and water. Its discovery was first published in 1956.
Etymology
Its name derives from reversing "Oken" from
Okenite (named after the German naturalist
Lorenz Oken), 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 (glass-like) 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.
