Viscous Pyroxeres is the secret behind the success of ORE in the early days. ORE has since then moved into more profitable minerals, but Viscous Pyroxeres still holds a special place in the hearts of all miners dreaming of becoming the next mining moguls of EVE. Pyroxeres is an interesting ore type, as it is very plain in most respects except one - deep core reprocessing yields a little bit of nocxium, increasing its value considerably. It also has a large portion of tritanium and some pyerite and mexallon. This ore is a compressed and much more dense version of the original ore.

Vitreous mercoxit gleams in the dark, like a siren of myth. Found only in rare clusters in space vitreous mercoxit is very rare, but very valuable, due to its much higher 10% yield. Mercoxit is a very dense ore that must be mined using specialized deep core mining techniques. It contains massive amounts of the extraordinary Morphite mineral but few other minerals of note. This ore is a compressed and much more dense version of the original ore.

Interstellar ices are formed by accretion of gas molecules onto silicate dust particles. Due to its unique chemical composition and the circumstances under which it forms, blue ice contains more oxygen isotopes than any other ice asteroid. This ore has been compressed into a much more dense version.

Interstellar ices are formed by accretion of gas molecules onto silicate dust particles. These crystalline formations can be found scattered around many an ice field, and are known as the universe's primary source of helium isotopes. This ore has been compressed into a much more dense version.

Dark glitter is one of the rarest of the interstellar ices, formed only in areas with large amounts of residual electrical current. Little is known about the exact way in which it comes into being; the staggering amount of liquid ozone to be found inside one of these rocks makes it an intriguing mystery for stellar physicists and chemists alike. In addition, it contains large amounts of heavy water and a decent measure of strontium clathrates. 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.

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.

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.
