Prisilite is a type of naturally-formed crystalline structures similar to diamond nanorods. It has exquisite hardness and tensile strength while being partially translucent, these traits being a result of Prisilite's curious crystal lattice structure, seemingly caused by its unique and very complex chemical makeup. When crystallized, prisilite expresses itself with an organized crystalline structure, but with each bond forming as quintuple bonds with each other, creating the peculiar hardness and density that is so key to its uses in industry. It also has the unique property of acting as an acoustic amplifier when a current is passed through it, implying lots of application in sonic tools and utilities. It can easily form extremely thin and sharp edges in a style similar to obsidian.
Rarely, prisilite is used in cosmetic applications such as jewelry and decoration due to its iridescent, rainbow-like appearance. Used for Machine tools, blade edges, applications where extreme hardness is required without the brittleness of diamond. Can also be used as a commodity due to high rarity and value.
Prisilite is found as a byproduct within brown dwarf stars that have long outlived their lives; sometimes prisilite may also be found within large chunks of brown dwarf stellar matter found in asteroids as chunks blasted off. Prisilite is also found in trace amounts within nebulae, as byproducts of supernovae. These nebulae are often combed through with large nets to capture any trace amounts of Prisilite within.
