Material Characteristics
The arcanic salt has the same shape as quartz found in the wild. The original shape looks like crystals in spike forms, and projected like an explosion.The arcanic quartz is more refractive than quartz, but comes in more colors from the light spectrum.

Geology & Geography
Arcanic Quartz, due to his creation process, can be found on active, inactive, and dormant volcanoes which got in proximity of Netherium during dormancy. [url=]Man'gaihi Island, for example, is an abundant place to find it.
History & Usage
History
Arcanic quartz, like netherium, is a component which sole existence can create wars and chaos. Reknown for his potent power for magic, his use is also risky, as overdose can lead to erratic results and death. His use has been useful for many countries, but can also create dissent from greedy neighbours. Most countries demand the possession of arcanic salt to be divulgated when crossing borders, which can result in customs confiscation some times.
Industrial Use
Arcanic salt can be smelted to gather the netherium and make alloys.
Arcanic salt can aldo be made into glass with the netherium.
Refinement
The quartz, as is, can be used as a catalyst. Some put them in containers or staves for magical energy purposes.
It can also be grinded into salt. With a higher spreading and lower core space, salt reacts faster but can also provoke more spontaneous results. Smelting can also be done into creating alloys, but the process is highly dangerous, so erratic than a handful of blacksmith facilities can work on it. Some key spots able to smelt arcanic rocks are the SillerOfen, in the depths of the Kingdom of Tränenfeld, or the Titan's Crucible.
Byproducts & Sideproducts
When the magic elements in arcanic quartz is depleted, it can be used as quartz. remains of arcanic quartz are more brittle than usual quartz, but can be sold as a cheaper alternative. this can be a good deal for people able to modify the quartz to their need.

Rarity
Rarity Is high for arcanic salt as it creates under difficult natural context, and is scarce due to the unreliable and limited amount of netherium arriving in Arcamunda from specifics comet falls.
Odor
The arcanic quartz carries no particular odors, altough the scent of ashes when brought from nearby volcanoes can remain if not cleansed.
Taste
This quartz has no particular taste, but the Pelagoi claims saltiness may differ depending on color. This is however not safe for consumption for many races.
Color
The quartz have the uncanny power to absorb light for up to one hour, but can also be broken into salts and burned to enhance a flame. The color varies on the original attunement they have.
Common State
Solid (rock shaped, or granular)
