III-Grade gneiss has a fracturized molecule-structure, which gives it a prismatic appearance. It is the most sought after member of the Gneiss family, as it yields 10% more than common Gneiss. Gneiss is a popular ore type because it holds significant volumes of three heavily used minerals, increasing its utility value. It has quite a bit of Mexallon as well as some Pyerite and Isogen. This material is compressed and a much more compact form of the original material.

Gneiss is often the first major league ore that up and coming miners graduate to. Finding the more II-Grade variation of Gneiss, known as iridescent gneiss, is a major coup for these miners due to its 5% greater mineral yield.

In areas with high concentrations of electromagnetic activity, ice formations such as this one, containing large amounts of heavy water and liquid ozone, are spontaneously formed during times of great electric flux. Glare crust also contains a small amount of strontium clathrates. This ore has been compressed into a much more dense version.

Interstellar ices are formed by accretion of gas molecules onto silicate dust particles. Glacial masses are known to contain hydrogen isotopes in abundance, but the high surface diffusion on this particular mass means it has considerably more than its coarser counterparts. This material is compressed and a much more compact form of the original material.

Interstellar ices are formed by accretion of gas molecules onto silicate dust particles. Glacial masses are known to contain hydrogen isotopes in abundance, in addition to smatterings of heavy water and liquid ozone. This ore has been compressed into a much more dense version.

Fairly rare and very valuable, Gelidus-type ice formations are a large-scale source of strontium clathrates, one of the rarest ice solids found in the universe, in addition to which they contain unusually large concentrations of heavy water and liquid ozone. This ore has been compressed into a much more dense version.

III-Grade or obsidian ochre, the most valuable member of the dark ochre family, was only first discovered a decade ago. The sleek black surface of this ore managed to absorb scanning waves, making obsidian ochre asteroids almost invisible. Advances in scanning technology revealed these beauties at last. This ore's 10% higher mineral yield makes it more than worth the effort required to find it. Considered a worthless ore for years, dark ochre was ignored by most miners until improved reprocessing techniques managed to extract the huge amount of Isogen and Mexallon inside it. Dark ochre also contains useful amounts of Nocxium. This material is compressed and a much more compact form of the original material.

II-Grade dark ochre, also known as onyx ochre, has a distinctive, shiny black surface that lends itself to ornamental uses. But the 5% higher mineral yield is what miners are really after. Like in all else, good looks are only an added bonus. Considered a worthless ore for years, dark ochre was ignored by most miners until improved reprocessing techniques managed to extract the huge amount of Isogen and Mexallon inside it. Dark ochre also contains useful amounts of Nocxium. This material is compressed and a much more compact form of the original material.
