Magnesite - Notes

Universe :	Prime Timeline
Name :	Magnesite [1]

Solid substance. Magnesite is occasionally found in comets; it is hard enough to crack drill bits, making drilling into such comets difficult. [2] Drilling through magnesite is difficult even using phaser drills, as it creates feedback pulses along the particle beam, a problem Geordi encountered on the planet Atrea in 2370. [3] The Duras sisters Lursa and B'Etor conducted illegal mining for magnesite on Kalla III; Riker obtained some of the ore and detonated it in space with a phaser blast to reveal the location of their cloaked ship. [4] Magnesite-nitron tablets were a standard part of a landing party medical kit in the 2260s. [1] Magnesite dust formed a part of the living nebula cloud which Voyger encountered in 2371. [5] Voyager explored magnesite deposits on a planet in the Avery system later in the same year. [6] In the 2150s Magnesite was used in construction of warp cores on Earth vessels [7], and the Kazon Nistrim used it in the construction of their frigates in the 2370s. [8] Magnesite fuel was commonly used for small scale applications such as heating and cooking in the mid 24th century. [9] Transporters cannot beam an object through magnesite. [10]
