Properties

Physical & Chemical Properties

This mineral has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, feels hot to the touch, and its typical shape is a six-sided prism that ends in six-sided pyramids. It's mostly chemically inert until submerged in water at which point starts heating violently, making the water boil. When the reaction ends, the Heat Crystal has turned into sand. It also heats up upon physical stress, but this process doesn't consume the crystal.

Geology & Geography

It is found in a lot of different places, but always in the Twilight Zone, in dry zones, and below 100 meters of depth.
