Once in a while Spoudumain is found with crystaline veins running through it. The increased value this yields puts the gleam in the eye of any miner lucky enough to find it.

Spodumain is amongst the most valuable ore types around, as it is one of only three ore types that yields the ultra-rare megacyte. Otherwise very plain, with a bit of tritanium and pyerite.

This ore is a compressed and much more dense version of the original ore.
