Cantite is a mineral only found on Mars. It was one of the first to be discovered by Anthraxus J. a Martian mineralologist.
Characteristics[]
Altough little research has been carried out to date, the mineral is believed to belong to the pyrite group, in which all minerals share the same building principle. The metal in the oxidation state +2 forms a sodium chloride structure together with the anion S22-. This formalism recognizes that the sulfur atoms in Cantite occur in pairs with clear S-S bonds.
Value[]
The base value of each unit of ranges between 1 and 10 Ð per unit, with up to 3 units being found at any one time.
