Mineral Survey Record
Scanner-Preserved Data
Field Description
Tiered red stone supporting bright amber crystal growths.
The phrase “Contains Water” is retained as scanner-generated metadata and is not treated as an independently verified field conclusion.
Preliminary Geological Assessment
The tiered red stone and bright amber crystal growths are directly visible and distinguish the specimen from surrounding terrain. The scanner records magnetic-attraction characteristics and water content. These properties were not independently tested during the field survey.
Interpretations reflect the currently preserved field image and scanner record only and may be revised as additional evidence is authenticated.
Questions Retained
- Whether the amber crystals and red substrate share one formation process.
- Location and form of the scanner-reported water content.
- Strength or direction of any magnetic response.
- Occurrence of comparable crystal-bearing specimens elsewhere on Ironleaf.
Archive Significance
Althaite contributes one authenticated magnetic attraction-classified mineral record to the geological inventory of Serene Basin. Its preserved field appearance and scanner metadata support future comparison with specimens documented at other Ironleaf survey sites.
Preservation Justification
Retained as a scanner-verified specimen from Survey Site Alpha. Preservation supports later comparison of scanner classifications, visible morphology, and site distribution as the Ironleaf planetary survey expands.
