Name: Kagomite
 * Appearance: Like aggregated quartz, forest green in colour.
 * Properties: Solid crystal lattice with randomly oriented magnetic moments, called a quantum spin liquid as they fluctuate giving rise to a strange state of matter. When synthesised, useful in building quantum computers and high temperature superconductors.
 * Geological setting: Copper mineralisation, associated with intrusive partially melted syenites and granites.
 * Rarity: Mineral is common but almost exclusively impure.

Name: Icosahedrite
 * Appearance: Tiny black icosahedral grains exhibiting aperiodic tiling under X-ray diffraction. Rarely exceed 1 mm when synthesised.
 * Properties: Known as a quasicrystal, icosahedrite exhibits five-fold symmetry, breaking the crystallographic restriction theorem. Atoms are arranged not by periodic aggregations of atoms, but [tl; dr quantum magic] from a superimposed quantum linear superposition, a non-local arrangement of atoms.  Icosahedrite is studied for its non-algorithmic properties, useful in research and development of AI, neuroscience and quantumscale machinery.
 * Geological setting: Found in association with asteroid impacts from carbonaceous chondrites or in asteroid craters, thus are formed from immense heat and pressure.
 * Rarity: Very rare.
